Analysis of kinetic models and macroscopic continuum equations for rarefied gas dynamics

The Boltzmann equation is the basic equation to describe rarefied gas flows. Some kinetic models with simple expressions for the collision term have been proposed to reduce the mathematical complexity of the Boltzmann equation. All macroscopic continuum equations can be derived from the Boltzmann...
