Approximation of the Boltzmann Collision Operator Based on Hermite Spectral Method
arXiv:1803.11191 · doi:10.1016/j.jcp.2019.07.014
Abstract
Based on the Hermite expansion of the distribution function, we introduce a Galerkin spectral method for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with the realistic inverse-power-law models. A practical algorithm is proposed to evaluate the coefficients in the spectral method with high accuracy, and these coefficients are also used to construct new computationally affordable collision models. Numerical experiments show that our method captures the low-order moments very efficiently.
