Boundary conditions for regularized 13-moment-equations for micro-channel-flows

Boundary conditions are the major obstacle in simulations based on advanced continuum models of rarefied and micro-flows of gases. In this paper, we present a theory how to combine the regularized 13-moment-equations derived from Boltzmann’s equation with boundary conditions obtained from Maxwell’s kinetic accommodation model. While for the linear case these kinetic boundary conditions suffice, we need additional conditions in the non-linear case. These are provided by the bulk solutions obtained after properly transforming the equations while keeping their asymptotic accuracy with respect to Boltzmann’s equation.After finding a suitable set of boundary conditions and equations, a numerical method for generic shear flow problems is formulated. Several test simulations demonstrate the stable and oscillation-free performance of the new approach.

The Modified Group Expansions for Construction of Solutions to the BBGKY Hierarchy

A solution to the BBGKY hierarchy for nonequilibrium distribution functions is obtained within modified boundary conditions. The boundary conditions take into account explicitly both the nonequilibrium one-particle distribution function as well as local conservation laws. As a result, modified group expansions are proposed. On the basis of these expansions, a generalized kinetic equation for hard spheres and a generalized Bogolubov–Lenard–Balescu kinetic equation for a dense electron gas are derived within the polarization approximation.

Non-Markovian Quantum Kinetics and Conservation Laws

A link between memory effects in quantum kinetic equations and nonequilibrium correlations associated with the energy conservation is investigated. In order that the energy be conserved by an approximate collision integral, the one-particle distribution function and the mean interaction energy are treated as independent nonequilibrium state parameters. The density operator method is used to derive a kinetic equation in second-order non-Markovian Born approximation and an evolution equation for the nonequilibrium quasi-temperature which is thermodynamically conjugated to the mean interaction energy. The kinetic equation contains a correlation contribution which exactly cancels the collision term in thermal equilibrium and ensures the energy conservation in nonequilibrium states. Explicit expressions for the entropy production in the non-Markovian regime and the time-dependent correlation energy are obtained.     

Fractional statistical mechanics

The Liouville and first Bogoliubov hierarchy equations with derivatives of noninteger order are derived. The fractional Liouville equation is obtained from the conservation of probability to find a system in a fractional volume element. This equation is used to obtain Bogoliubov hierarchy and fractional kinetic equations with fractional derivatives. Statistical mechanics of fractional generalization of the Hamiltonian systems is discussed. Liouville and Bogoliubov equations with fractional coordinate and momenta derivatives are considered as a basis to derive fractional kinetic equations. The Fokker-Planck-Zaslavsky equation that has fractional phase-space derivatives is obtained from the fractional Bogoliubov equation. The linear fractional kinetic equation for distribution of the charged particles is considered.     

Worldtube conservation laws for the null-timelike evolution problem

I treat the worldtube constraints which arise in the null-timelike initial-boundary value problem for the Bondi-Sachs formulation of Einstein’s equations. Boundary data on a worldtube and initial data on an outgoing null hypersurface determine the exterior spacetime by integration along the outgoing null geodsics. The worldtube constraints are a set of conservation laws which impose conditions on the integration constants. I show how these constraints lead to a well-posed initial value problem governing the extrinsic curvature of the worldtube, whose components are related to the integration constants. Possible applications to gravitational waveform extraction and to the well-posedness of the null-timelike initial-boundary value problem are discussed.     

Disturbance of spin equilibrium by current through the interface of noncollinear ferromagnets

Boundary conditions are derived that determine the penetration of spin current through an interface of two noncollinear ferromagnets with an arbitrary angle between their magnetization vectors. We start from the well-known transformation properties of an electron spin wave functions under the rotation of a quantization axis. It allows directly find the connection between partial electric current densities for different spin subbands of the ferromagnets. No spin scattering is assumed in the near interface region, so that spin conservation takes place when electron intersects the boundary. The continuity conditions are found for partial chemical potential differences in the situation. Spatial distribution of nonequilibrium electron magnetizations is calculated under the spin current flowing through a contact of two semi-infinite ferromagnets. The distribution describes the spin accumulation effect by current and corresponding shift of the potential drop at the interface. These effects appear strongly dependent on the relation between spin contact resistances at the interface.     

Solution of the BGK model kinetic equation for very hard particle interaction

We study the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model kinetic equation with a velocity-dependent collision frequency. We derive the conditions that must be verified in order to keep the main physical properties of the Boltzmann equation, i.e.,H-theorem and conservation laws. The particular case of the so-called VHP interaction is considered, and the resulting kinetic equation is solved for a homogeneous and isotropic gas. Overpopulation phenomena are observed and analyzed for some kinds of initial conditions. The results are compared, where possible, with the exact solution of the Boltzmann equation.

On the parametric excitation of surface oscillations of a cold plasma

The excitation of surface oscillations of cold plasmas is studied for external electric fields perpendicular to the plasma density gradient. Boundary conditions for electromagnetic fields on the plane boundary between plasmas with different densities are derived, and the dispersion relation for the excitation of the surface modes is obtained. The effects of metallic walls of a vacuum chamber are considered, together with the excitation of surface oscillations of a plasma slab immersed in a plasma with different density.     

Boundary conditions for narrow-gap heterostructures described by the Dirac equation

Boundary conditions are obtained for narrow-gap heterostructures formed by semiconductors whose energy spectrum is described by the Dirac equation. The case where the carrier mass exhibits axial anisotropy is analyzed. A helicity operator whose eigenvalue is conserved over the entire heterostructure is generalized for anisotropic heterostructures. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 40, 1345–1346 (July 1998)     

Hydrodynamic Limit of a B.G.K. Like Model on Domains with Boundaries and Analysis of Kinetic Boundary Conditions for Scalar Multidimensional Conservation Laws

In this paper we study the hydrodynamic limit of a B.G.K. like kinetic model on domains with boundaries via BV _loc theory. We obtain as a consequence existence results for scalar multidimensional conservation laws with kinetic boundary conditions. We require that the initial and boundary data satisfy the optimal assumptions that they all belong to L ¹∩L ^∞ with the additional regularity assumptions that the initial data are in BV _loc . We also extend our hydrodynamic limit analysis to the case of a generalized kinetic model to account for forces effects and we obtain as a consequence the existence theory for conservation laws with source terms and kinetic boundary conditions.     

Boundary correlation functions of the six and nineteen vertex models with domain wall boundary conditions

Boundary correlation functions of the six and nineteen vertex models on an N×N lattice with domain wall boundary conditions are studied. The general expression of the boundary correlation functions is obtained for the six vertex model by the use of the quantum inverse scattering method. For the nineteen vertex model, the boundary correlation functions are shown to be expressed in terms of those for the six vertex model.     

Elastic boundary conditions in the presence of the flexoelectric effect

Boundary conditions for the equations of the theory of elasticity modified by the presence of the flexoelectric effect have been obtained. It has been shown that these conditions do not generally coincide with the boundary conditions of the standard theory of elasticity. In particular, stresses that are proportional to the product of the polarization and surface curvature appear on the surface. Due to the boundary conditions, the uniform polarization deforms the crystal, although this polarization does not enter into the three-dimensional equations of equilibrium.     

Renormalization of boundary conditions for distribution functions of quasiparticles obeying quantum statistics at interfaces between crystalline grains

Boundary conditions for distribution functions of quasiparticles scattered by an interface between two crystalline grains are presented. In contradistinction to former formulations where the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics was considered, the present boundary conditions take into account the quantum (Fermi-Dirac or Bose-Einstein) statistics of the quasiparticles. Provided that small deviations from the thermodynamical equilibrium only are present, the boundary conditions are linearized, and then their “renormalization” is investigated in case of the elastic scattering. The final results of the renormalization, which are obtained for a simplified model of an interface, suggest that the portion of the Fermi (Bose)-quasiparticles reflected or transmitted specularly is decreased (increased) in comparison with the case of quasiparticles obeying the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics.     

Relativistic kinetics of phonon gas in superfluids

The relativistic kinetic theory of the phonon gas in superfluids is developed. The technique of the derivation of macroscopic balance equations from microscopic equations of motion for individual particles is applied to an ensemble of quasi-particles. The necessary expressions are constructed in terms of a Hamilton function of a (quasi-)particle. A phonon contribution into superfluid dynamic parameters is obtained from energy-momentum balance equations for the phonon gas together with the conservation law for superfluids as a whole. Relations between dynamic flows being in agreement with results of relativistic hydrodynamic consideration are found. Based on the kinetic approach a problem of relativistic variation of the speed of sound under phonon influence at low temperature is solved.
