Spectral methods for one-dimensional kinetic models of granular flows and numerical quasi elastic limit

Giovanni Naldi, Lorenzo Pareschi, Giuseppe Toscani (2003)

Similarity:

In this paper we introduce numerical schemes for a one-dimensional kinetic model of the Boltzmann equation with dissipative collisions and variable coefficient of restitution. In particular, we study the numerical passage of the Boltzmann equation with singular kernel to nonlinear friction equations in the so-called quasi elastic limit. To this aim we introduce a Fourier spectral method for the Boltzmann equation [25, 26] and show that the kernel modes that define the spectral method...

Conservative forms of Boltzmann's collision operator: Landau revisited

Cédric Villani (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We show that Boltzmann's collision operator can be written explicitly in divergence and double divergence forms. These conservative formulations may be of interest for both theoretical and numerical purposes. We give an application to the asymptotics of grazing collisions.
