# A Numerical Method for Computing Asymptotic States and Outgoing Distributions for Kinetic Linear Half-Space Problems

01 Sep 1995-Journal of Statistical Physics (Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers)-Vol. 80, Iss: 5, pp 1033-1061

TL;DR: A new fast numerical method computing the asymptotic states and outgoing distributions for a linearized BGK half-space problem is presented and relations with the so-called variational methods are discussed.

AbstractLinear half-space problems can be used to solve domain decomposition problems between Boltzmann and aerodynamic equations. A new fast numerical method computing the asymptotic states and outgoing distributions for a linearized BGK half-space problem is presented. Relations with the so-called variational methods are discussed. In particular, we stress the connection between these methods and Chapman-Enskog type expansions.

Abstract: A numerical scheme for the nonstationary Boltzmann equation in the incompressible Navier--Stokes limit is developed. The scheme is induced by the asymptotic analysis of the Navier--Stokes limit for the Boltzmann equation. It works uniformly for all ranges of mean free paths. In the limit the scheme reduces to the Chorin projection method for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equation. Numerical results for different physical situations are shown and the uniform convergence of the scheme is established numerically.

TL;DR: An asymptotic-induced scheme for kinetic semiconductor equations with the diffusion scaling is developed and works uniformly for all ranges of mean free paths.
Abstract: An asymptotic-induced scheme for kinetic semiconductor equations with the diffusion scaling is developed. The scheme is based on the asymptotic analysis of the kinetic semiconductor equation. It works uniformly for all ranges of mean free paths. The velocity discretization is done using quadrature points equivalent to a moment expansion method. Numerical results for different physical situations are presented.

Abstract: This paper deals with domain decomposition methods for kinetic and drift diffusion semiconductor equations. In particular accurate coupling conditions at the interface between the kinetic and drift diffusion domain are given. The cases of slight and strong nonequilibrium situations at the interface are considered and numerical examples are shown.

Abstract: This monograph is intended to be a reasonably self -contained and fairly complete exposition of rigorous results in abstract kinetic theory. Throughout, abstract kinetic equations refer to (an abstract formulation of) equations which describe transport of particles, momentum, energy, or, indeed, any transportable physical quantity. These include the equations of traditional (neutron) transport theory, radiative transfer, and rarefied gas dynamics, as well as a plethora of additional applications in various areas of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. The mathematical problems addressed within the monograph deal with existence and uniqueness of solutions of initial-boundary value problems, as well as questions of positivity, continuity, growth, stability, explicit representation of solutions, and equivalence of various formulations of the transport equations under consideration. The reader is assumed to have a certain familiarity with elementary aspects of functional analysis, especially basic semigroup theory, and an effort is made to outline any more specialized topics as they are introduced. Over the past several years there has been substantial progress in developing an abstract mathematical framework for treating linear transport problems. The benefits of such an abstract theory are twofold: (i) a mathematically rigorous basis has been established for a variety of problems which were traditionally treated by somewhat heuristic distribution theory methods; and (ii) the results obtained are applicable to a great variety of disparate kinetic processes. Thus, numerous different systems of integrodifferential equations which model a variety of kinetic processes are themselves modelled by an abstract operator equation on a Hilbert (or Banach) space.

Abstract: The steady behavior of a gas in contact with its condensed phase of arbitrary shape is investigated on the basis of kinetic theory. The Knudsen number of the system (the mean free path of the gas molecules divided by the characteristic length of the system) being assumed to be fairly small, the hydrodynamic equations for the macroscopic quantities, the velocity, temperature, and pressure, of the gas and their boundary conditions on the interface of the gas and its condensed phase are derived, and two simple examples (evaporation from a sphere, two-surface problem of evaporation and condensation) are worked out.

Abstract: In the first part of this paper, we study the half space boundary value problem for the Boltzmann equation with an incoming distribution, obtained when considering the boundary layer arising in the kinetic theory of gases as the mean free path tends to zero. We linearize it about a drifting Maxwellian and prove that, as conjectured by Cercignani [4], the problem is well-posed when the drift velocity u exceeds the sound speed c, but that one (respectively four, five) additional conditions must be imposed when 0 < u < c (respectively - c < u < 0 and u < - c). In the second part, we show that the well-posedness and the asymptotic behavior results for kinetic layers equations with prescribed incoming flux can be extended to more general and realistic boundary conditions.
