Abstract
SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, Volume 56, Issue 5, Page 6361-6397, October 2024. Abstract. The ellipsoidal BGK model (ES-BGK) is a generalized version of the BGK model where the local Maxwellian in the relaxation operator of the BGK model is extended to an ellipsoidal Gaussian with a parameter [math], so that the correct Prandtl number can be computed in the Navier–Stokes limit. In this work, we consider steady rarefied flows arising from the evaporation and condensation process between two parallel condensed phases, which is formulated in this paper as the existence problem of stationary solutions to the ES-BGK model in a bounded interval with the mixed boundary conditions. One of the key difficulties arises in the uniform control of the temperature tensor from below. In the noncritical case [math], we utilize the property that the temperature tensor is equivalent to the temperature. In the critical case, [math], where such equivalence relation breaks down, we observe that the size of bulk velocity in the [math] direction can be controlled by the discrepancy of boundary flux, which enables one to bound the temperature tensor from below.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis (SIMA) features research articles of the highest quality employing innovative analytical techniques to treat problems in the natural sciences. Every paper has content that is primarily analytical and that employs mathematical methods in such areas as partial differential equations, the calculus of variations, functional analysis, approximation theory, harmonic or wavelet analysis, or dynamical systems. Additionally, every paper relates to a model for natural phenomena in such areas as fluid mechanics, materials science, quantum mechanics, biology, mathematical physics, or to the computational analysis of such phenomena.
Submission of a manuscript to a SIAM journal is representation by the author that the manuscript has not been published or submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.
Typical papers for SIMA do not exceed 35 journal pages. Substantial deviations from this page limit require that the referees, editor, and editor-in-chief be convinced that the increased length is both required by the subject matter and justified by the quality of the paper.
