Boundary conditions for Grad’s 13 moment equations
نویسنده
چکیده
A complete set of boundary conditions for Grad’s 13 moment equations is derived from Maxwell’s boundary conditions for the Boltzmann equation. The equations are solved for plane Couette flow. The results exhibit temperature jump and slip, and agree well with DSMC calculations for Knudsen numbers Kn ≤ 0.1. Nonlinear effects lead to unphysical results at larger Knudsen numbers, and for very fast flows. A simplified version of the Grad 13 equations, the so-called bulk equations, gives meaningful results in conditions where the full set of equations fails.

Regularization and Boundary Conditions for the 13 Moment Equations
We summarize our recent contributions to the development of macroscopic transport equations for rarefied gas flows. A combination of the ChapmanEnskog expansion and Grad’s moment method, termed as the order of magnitude method, yields the regularized 13 moment equations (R13 equations) which are of super-Burnett order. A complete set of boundary conditions is derived from the boundary condition...
متن کاملRegularization of Grad’s 13 Moment Equations: Derivation and Linear Analysis
A new closure for Grad’s 13 moment equations is presented that adds terms of SuperBurnett order to the balances of pressure deviator and heat flux vector. The additional terms are derived from equations for higher moments by means of the distribution function for 13 moments. The resulting system of equations contains the Burnett and Super-Burnett equations when expanded in a series in the Knuds...
متن کاملHyperbolicity of Grad’s extension of hydrodynamic models for ionospheric plasma. Part 1: The single species case
We present the fluid equations derived by Schunck following Grad’s approach to solve the Boltzmann equation for near maxwellian distribution functions. We study the hyperbolic part of these systems usually referred to as 5, 8, 10, 13 and 16-moment approximation. We show that the hyperbolicity of the systems involving the heat flux as an independent variable always requires a limitation on the h...
متن کاملInvariance correction to Grad ’ s equations : where to go beyond approximations ?
We review some recent developments of Grad’s approach to solving the Boltzmann equation and creating a reduced description. The method of the invariant manifold is put forward as a unified principle to establish corrections to Grad’s equations. A consistent derivation of regularized Grad’s equations in the framework of the method of the invariant manifold is given. A new class of kinetic models...
متن کاملH theorem, regularization, and boundary conditions for linearized 13 moment equations.
An H theorem for the linearized Grad 13 moment equations leads to regularizing constitutive equations for higher fluxes and to a complete set of boundary conditions. Solutions for Couette and Poiseuille flows show good agreement with direct simulation Monte Carlo calculations. The Knudsen minimum for the relative mass flow rate is reproduced.
