Ellipsoidal statistical Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model with velocity-dependent collision frequency

In this paper, an ellipsoidal statistical (ES) Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK)-type kinetic model with velocity-dependent collision frequency is proposed and further numerically tested for one-dimensional shock waves and planar Couette flow at steady state for hard sphere molecules. In this new kinetic model, a physically meaningful expression for the velocity-dependent collision frequency derived from the Boltzmann equation is used, while the important properties for a kinetic model are retained at the same time. This kinetic model can be simplified to the classical ES-BGK model and the BGK model with velocity-dependent collision frequency for suitable choices of parameters. The H theorem for this new kinetic model has so far been proven only for small Knudsen numbers. The numerical method used here for kinetic models is based on Mieussens’s discrete velocity model [L. Mieussens, J. Comput. Phys. 162, 429 (2000)]. Computational results from the kinetic models (including the BGK model, the ES-BGK model, the B...
