Regularization of Grad’s 13 Moment Equations: Derivation and Linear Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 Knudsen number. However, other than the Burnett and SuperBurnett equations, the new set of equations is linearly stable for all wavelengths and frequencies. Dispersion relation and damping for the new equations agree better with experimental data than those for the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations, or the original 13 moments system. The new equations also allow the description of Knudsen boundary layers.

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 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 کاملBoundary conditions for Grad’s 13 moment equations
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 ...

Abstract. Adetailed treatment of the classical Chapman-Enskog derivation of hydrodynamics is given in the framework of Grad’smoment equations. Grad’s systems are considered as theminimal kineticmodels where theChapman-Enskogmethod can be studied exactly, thereby providing the basis to compare various approximations in extending the hydrodynamic description beyond the Navier-Stokes approximation...

Methods to derive macroscopic transport equations for rarefied gases from the Boltzmann equations are presented. Featured methods include the Chapman-Enskog expansion, Grad’s moment method, and the author’s order of magnitude method. The resulting macroscopic equations are compared and discussed by means of simple problems, including linear stability, shock wave structures, and Couette flow.
