Convergence Rate to Stationary Solutions for Boltzmann Equation with External Force

For the Boltzmann equation with an external force in the form of the gradient of a potential function in space variable, the stability of its stationary solutions as local Maxwellians was studied by S. Ukai et al. (2005) through the energy method. Based on this stability analysis and some techniques on analyzing the convergence rates to stationary solutions for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, in this paper, we study the convergence rate to the above stationary solutions for the Boltzmann equation which is a fundamental equation in statistical physics for non-equilibrium rarefied gas. By combining the dissipation from the viscosity and heat conductivity on the fluid components and the dissipation on the non-fluid component through the celebrated H-theorem, a convergence rate of the same order as the one for the compressible Navier-Stokes is obtained by constructing some energy functionals.     

EXISTENCE OF INFINITE ENERGY SOLUTION TO THE INELASTIC BOLTZMANN EQUATION WITH EXTERNAL FORCE

In this paper,the Cauchy problem for the inelastic Boltzmann equation with external force is considered in the case of initial data with infinite energy.More precisely,under the assumptions on the bicharacteristic generated by external force,we prove the global existence of solution for small initial data compared to the local Maxwellian exp{ p|x v|2},which has infinite mass and energy.     

Stability of the Equilibrium to the Boltzmann Equation with Large Potential Force

The Boltzmann equation with external potential force exists a unique equilibrium—local Maxwellian. The author constructs the nonlinear stability of the equilibrium when the initial datum is a small perturbation of the local Maxwellian in the whole space R~3. Compared with the previous result [Ukai, S., Yang, T. and Zhao, H.-J.,Global solutions to the Boltzmann equation with external forces, Anal. Appl.(Singap.), 3,2005, 157–193], no smallness condition on the Sobolev norm H~1 of the potential is needed in our arguments. The proof is based on the entropy-energy inequality and the L~2-L~∞ estimates.     

Solutions of the Boltzmann equation with infinite energy: Existence, stability and long time behavior

This paper is devoted to studying a class of solutions to the nonlinear Boltzmann equation having infinite kinetic energy, these solutions have an upper Maxwellian bound with infinite kinetic energy. Firstly, the existence and stability of this kind of solutions are established near vacuum. Secondly, it is proved that this kind of solutions are stable for any initial data, as a consequence, the Boltzmann equation has at most one solution with infinite kinetic energy. Finally, the long time behavior of the solutions is also established.

Smoothness of the Solution of the Spatially Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation without Cutoff

Abstract

For regularized hard potentials cross sections, the solution of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff lies in Schwartz's space 𝒮(? ^N ) for all (strictly positive) time. The proof is presented in full detail for the two-dimensional case, and for a moderate singularity of the cross section. Then we present those parts of the proof for the general case, where the dimension, or the strength of the singularity play an essential role.

Existence of nonlinear boundary layer to the Boltzmann equation with reverse reflection boundary condition

Many physical models have boundaries. When the Boltzmann equation is used to study a physical problem with boundary, there usually exists a layer of width of the order of the Knudsen number along the boundary. Hence, the research on the boundary layer problem is important both in mathematics and physics. Based on the previous work, in this paper, we consider the existence of boundary layer solution to the Boltzmann equation for hard sphere model with positive Mach number. The boundary condition is imposed on incoming particles of reverse reflection type, and the solution is assumed to approach to a global Maxwellian in the far field. Similar to the problem with Dirichlet boundary condition studied in [S. Ukai, T. Yang, S.H. Yu, Nonlinear boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation: I. Existence, Comm. Math. Phys. 3 (2003) 373-393], the existence of a solution is shown to depend on the Mach number of the far field Maxwellian. Moreover, there is an implicit solvability condition on the boundary data. According to the solvability condition, the co-dimension of the boundary data related to the number of the positive characteristic speeds is obtained.

Existence of nonlinear boundary layer solution to the Boltzmann equation with physical boundary conditions

In this paper, the existence of boundary layer solutions to the Boltzmann equation with two physical boundary conditions for hard sphere model is considered. The boundary condition is first imposed on incoming particles of diffuse reflection type and the solution tends to a global Maxwellian in the far field. Similar to the problem with Dirichlet boundary condition studied in [S. Ukai, T. Yang, S.H. Yu, Nonlinear boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation: I. Existence, Comm. Math. Phys. 236 (3) (2003) 373-393], the existence of a solution is shown to depend on the Mach number of the far field Maxwellian, and there is an implicit solvability conditions yielding the co-dimensions of the boundary data. At last, the specular reflection boundary condition is considered and the similar conclusions are obtained.     

The Boltzmann equation with potential force in the whole space

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation with potential force in the whole space. When some more natural assumptions compared with those of the previous works are made on the potential force, we can still obtain a unique global solution to the Boltzmann equation even for the hard potential cases by energy method, if the initial data are sufficiently close to the steady state. Moreover, the solution is uniformly stable. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thermal Creep Flow for the Boltzmann Equation

It is known that the Boltzmann equation has close relation to the classical systems in fluid dynamics. However, it provides more information on the microscopic level so that some phenomena, like the thermal creep flow, can not be modeled by the classical systems of fluid dynamics, such as the Euler equations. The author gives an example to show this phenomenon rigorously in a special setting. This paper is completely based on the author's recent work, jointly with Wang and Yang.
