TLDR
The applicability of the numerical Chapman–Enskog expansion as a lifting operator for lattice Boltzmann models to map density and momentum to distribution functions is extended.
Abstract
We extend the applicability of the numerical Chapman–Enskog expansion as a lifting operator for lattice Boltzmann models to map density and momentum to distribution functions In earlier work [Vanderhoydonc et al Multiscale Model Simul 10(3): 766-791, 2012] such an expansion was constructed in the context of lifting only the zeroth order velocity moment, namely the density A lifting operator is necessary to convert information from the macroscopic to the mesoscopic scale This operator is used for the initialization of lattice Boltzmann models Given only density and momentum, the goal is to initialize the distribution functions of lattice Boltzmann models For this initialization, the numerical Chapman–Enskog expansion is used in this paper

Mixed 3-manifolds are virtually special

TL;DR: In this article, the authors prove that π1M is virtually special, i.e., it is a compact oriented irreducible 3-manifold which is neither a graph manifold nor a hyperbolic manifold.

The geometry of purely loxodromic subgroups of right-angled Artin groups

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that finitely generated purely loxodromic subgroups of a right-angled Artin group A(Γ) fulfill equivalent conditions that parallel characterizations of convex cocompactness in mapping class groups Mod(S).

Weakly Modular Graphs and Nonpositive Curvature

TL;DR: In this paper, structural, geometrical, and topological characterizations and properties of weakly modular graphs and of cell complexes derived from them are investigated, and the unifying themes of their investigation are various "nonpositive curvature" and "local-to-global" properties.

Residually finite rationally solvable groups and virtual fibring

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a finitely generated residually finite rationally solvable (or RFRS) group $G$ admits a virtual surjection to Z if and only if the first $L 2$-Betti number of the group vanishes.

A characterization of virtually embedded subsurfaces in 3-manifolds

TL;DR: In this paper, the spirality character of the almost fiber part for a closed essentially immersed subsurface of a closed orientable aspherical 3-manifold was introduced, which generalizes an invariant due to Rubinstein and Wang.

The Mathematical Theory of Non-Uniform Gases

R. H. Fowler
- 01 Dec 1939 - 
TL;DR: Chapman and Cowling as mentioned in this paper showed that the ultimate scope of the descendent of the kinetic theory of gases must be the whole field of the properties of matter in bulk, derived from the atomic constitution of matter and from properties of atoms and their interactions.
