THE SMOOTHING EFFECT IN SHARP GEVREY SPACE FOR THE SPATIALLY HOMOGENEOUS NON-CUTOFF BOLTZMANN EQUATIONS WITH A HARDPOTENTIAL

In this article, we study the smoothing effect of the Cauchy problem for the spatially homogeneous non-cutoff Boltzmann equation for hard potentials. It has long been suspected that the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation enjoys similar regularity properties as to whose of the fractional heat equation. We prove that any solution with mild regularity will become smooth in Gevrey class at positive time, with a sharp Gevrey index, depending on the angular singularity. Our proof relies on the elementary L^(2) weighted estimates.

Investigation of Acoustomagnetoelectric Effect in Bandgap Graphene by the Boltzmann Transport Equation

We study the acoustomagnetoelectric (AME) effect in two-dimensional graphene with an energy bandgap using the semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation within the hypersound regime, (where represents the acoustic wavenumber and is the mean free path of the electron). The Boltzmann transport equation and other relevant equations were solved analytically to obtain an expression for the AME current density, consisting of longitudinal and Hall components. Our numerical results indicate that both components of the AME current densities display oscillatory behaviour. Furthermore, geometric resonances and Weiss oscillations were each defined using the relationship between the current density and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) frequency and the inverse of the applied magnetic field, respectively. Our results show that the AME current density of bandgap graphene, which can be controlled to suit a particular electronic device application, is smaller than that of (gapless) graphene and is therefore, more suited for nanophotonic device applications.

轴对称Boltzmann模型方程统一算法与空天飞行环境喷管流动模拟

拦截机动飞行器周围大范围区域存在主喷/侧喷流/羽流影响,而传统的纳维-斯托克斯(Navier-Stokes,N-S)方程不能很好模拟发动机喷管扩张段出口附近流动情况,需要一种新的方法来处理这种全流域流动问题。为解决该问题,针对特定轴对称喷管内流动,本文通过数学推导确立描述不同克努森数稀薄环境条件下的轴对称喷管内流动Boltzmann模型方程,初步建立适于该模型方程的数值格式与气体动理论统一算法。通过开展同轴圆筒间的定常/非定常旋转流动以及轴对称喷管内流动数值计算研究,发现统一算法计算流场与其他途径得到的结果吻合较好,验证了统一算法在全局克努森数喷管流动模拟的适应性和可靠性。通过与低密度风洞实验对比,喷管出口核心区羽流结构一致,羽流轴线压力分布一致,表明统一算法可以有效解决喷管入口压缩段到扩张段多流域混合,尤其是出口附近稀薄气体真空低压环境流动问题。

A novel incompressible finite-difference lattice Boltzmann equation for particle-laden flow

In this paper, we propose a novel incompressible finite-difference lattice Boltzmann Equation （FDLBE）. Because source terms that reflect the interaction between phases can be accurately described, the new model is suitable for simulating two-way coupling incompressible multiphase flow The 2-D particle-laden flow over a backward-facing step is chosen as a test case to validate the present method. Favorable results are obtained and the present scheme is shown to have good prospects in practical applications.

Thermal equation of state for lattice Boltzmann gases

The Galilean invariance and the induced thermo-hydrodynamics of the lattice Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model are proposed together with their rigorous theoretical background. From the viewpoint of group invariance, recovering the Galilean invariance for the isothermal lattice Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook equation （LBGKE） induces a new natural thermal-dynamical system, which is compatible with the elementary statistical thermodynamics.

Derivation of lattice Boltzmann equation via analytical characteristic integral

A lattice Boltzmann(LB) theory, the analytical characteristic integral(ACI) LB theory, is proposed in this paper.ACI LB theory takes the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook(BGK)-Boltzmann equation as the exact kinetic equation behind Navier–Stokes continuum and momentum equations and constructs an LB equation by rigorously integrating the BGK-Boltzmann equation along characteristics. It is a general theory, supporting most existing LB equations including the standard lattice BGK(LBGK) equation inherited from lattice-gas automata, whose theoretical foundation had been questioned. ACI LB theory also indicates that the characteristic parameter of an LB equation is collision number, depicting the particle-interaction intensity in the time span of the LB equation, instead of the traditionally assumed relaxation time, and the over-relaxation time problem is merely a manifestation of the temporal evolution of equilibrium distribution along characteristics under high collision number, irrelevant to particle kinetics. In ACI LB theory, the temporal evolution of equilibrium distribution along characteristics is the determinant of LB method accuracy and we numerically prove this.

Investigation on the Dielectric Properties of CO2 and CO2-Based Gases Based on the Boltzmann Equation Analysis

In this paper, the dielectric properties of CO2, CO2/air, CO2/O2, CO2/N2, CO2/CF4, CO2/CH4, CO2/He, C02/H2, CO2/NH3 and CO2/CO were investigated based on the Boltzmann equation analysis, in which the reduced critical electric field strength （E/N）cr of the gases was derived from the calculated electron energy distribution function （EEDF） by solv- ing the Boltzmann transport equation. In this work, it should be noted that the fundamental data were carefully selected by the published experimental results and calculations to ensure the validity of the calculation. The results indicate that if He, H2, N2 and CH4, in which there axe high ionization coefficients or a lack of attachment reactions, are added into CO2, the dielectric properties will decrease. On the other hand, air, O2, NH3 and CFa （ranked in terms of （E/N）cr value in increasing order） have the potential to improve the dielectric property of CO2 at room temperature.

CAUCHY PROBLEM FOR LINEARIZED NON-CUTOFF BOLTZMANN EQUATION WITH DISTRIBUTION INITIAL DATUM

In this article, we study the Cauchy problem for the linearized spatially homogeneous non-cutoff Boltzamnn equation with Maxwellian molecules. By using the spectral decomposition, we solve the Cauchy problem with initial datum in the sense of distribution, which contains the dual space of a Gelfand-Shilov class. We also prove that this solution belongs to the Gelfand-Shilov space for any positive time.

MACROSCOPIC REGULARITY FOR THE BOLTZMANN EQUATION

The regularity of solutions to the Boltzmann equation is a fundamental problem in the kinetic theory. In this paper, the case with angular cut-off is investigated. It is shown that the macroscopic parts of solutions to the Boltzmann equation, i.e., the density, momentum and total energy are continuous functions of （x, t） in the region R3 × （0, ＋∞）. More precisely, these macroscopic quantities immediately become continuous in any positive time even though they are initially discontinuous and the discontinuities of solutions propagate only in the microscopic level. It should be noted that such kind of phenomenon can not hap- pen for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in which the initial discontinuities of the density never vanish in any finite time, see [22]. This hints that the Boltzmann equation has better regularity effect in the macroscopic level than compressible Navier-Stokes equations.

A lattice Boltzmann model with an amending function for simulating nonlinear partial differential equations

This paper proposes a lattice Boltzmann model with an amending function for one-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations （NPDEs） in the form ut ＋αuux ＋βu^nuz ＋γuxx ＋δuzxx ＋ζxxxx = 0. This model is different from existing models because it lets the time step be equivalent to the square of the space step and derives higher accuracy and nonlinear terms in NPDEs. With the Chapman-Enskog expansion, the governing evolution equation is recovered correctly from the continuous Boltzmann equation. The numerical results agree well with the analytical solutions.

Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation Using Lattice Boltzmann Method

In this paper, in order to extend the lattice Boltzmann method to deal with more nonlinear equations, a one-dimensional (1D) lattice Boltzmann scheme with an amending function for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation is proposed. With the Taylor and Chapman-Enskog expansion, the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation is recovered correctly from the lattice Boltzmann equation. The method is applied on some test examples, and the numerical results have been compared with the analytical solutions or the numerical solutions reported in previous studies. The L2, L∞ and Root-Mean-Square (RMS) errors in the solutions show the efficiency of the method computationally.

For initial data with small total variation, we use a modified Glimm scheme to construct the global approximate solutions （U△t,d, I△t,d） and prove that there is a subsequence of the approximate solutions which is convergent to the global solution.

Stability of Global Solution to Boltzmann-Enskog Equation with External Force

In the presence of external forces depending only on the time and space variables, the Boltzmann-Enskog equation formally conserves only the mass of the . system, and its entropy functional is also nonincreasing. Corresponding to this type of equation, we first give some hypotheses of its bicharacteristic equations and then get some results about the stablity of its global solution with the help of two new Lyapunov functionals： one is to describe interactions between particles with different velocities and the other is to measure the L1 distance between two mild solutions. The former Lyapunov functional yields the time-asymptotic convergence of global classical solutions to the collision free motion while the latter is applied into the veri-fication of the L1 stability of global mild solutions to the Boltzmann-Enskog equation for a moderately or highly dense gas in the influence of external forces.

To be specific, we can prove the solution of the Cauchy problem belongs to Shubin spaces.
