Abstract
This paper is concerned with the Navier-Stokes limit of a class of globally hyperbolic moment equations from the Boltzmann equation. we show that the Navier-Stokes equations can be formally derived from the hyperbolic moment equations for various different collision mechanisms. Furthermore, the formal limit is justified rigorously by using an energy method. It should be noted that the hyperbolic moment equations are in non-conservative form and do not have a convex entropy function, therefore some additional efforts are required in the justification.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
