In this article, a modified version of the Hilbert and Chapman-Enskog expansions is developed, which combines the best features of the two expansions and results in nonlinear and linearized Navier-Stokes equations only and is valid in the above-mentioned regimes.
Abstract
The Hilbert and Chapman-Enskog expansions approximate solutions of the Boltzmann equation, but each has some disadvantages: The Hilbert expansion, which results in nonlinear and linearized Euler equations, is invalid for weak shocks, weak boundary layers and long time asymptotics. The Chapman-Enskog expansion results in nonlinear Euler then Navier-Stokes then Burnett and super-Burnett equations. Navier-Stokes is correct for weak shocks, weak boundary layers and long time asymptotics, but the Burnett equations have spurious high order dispersive effects. In this paper a modified expansion is developed, which combines the best features of the two expansions. It results in nonlinear and linearized Navier-Stokes equations only and is valid in the above-mentioned regimes.
