講演1: Construction of BGK models from an entropy minimization principle
Dr. Stéphane Brull
(Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux, Université Bordeaux 1, France)
要旨: The aim of this talk is to present a new methodology to construct BGK models that are able to give good hydrodynamic coefficients up to Navier-Stokes. This derivation is based on a systematic procedure minimizing Boltzmann entropy under suitable moments constraints. We firstly obtain a new construction of the Ellipsoidal Statistical Model in the monoatomic and polyatomic setting. In a last part, I will explain how this technique can be applied to gas mixtures.
講演2:

Development of a General-Purpose Parallel Flux-Conserved Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Code (PDSC++) Using an Unstructured Grid.

Prof. Jong-Shinn Wu
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan)
要旨: A new general-purpose parallel 2D/3D DSMC (named PDSC++, hereafter) based on the C++ language using a 2D, 2D-axisymmetric or 3D hybrid unstructured grid has been developed and validated. Several key features of the PDSC++ code are presented and discussed in the talk, including a variable time-step (VTS) scheme, a transient adaptive sub-cell (TAS) method, and parallel processing of the DSMC method. For the VTS scheme, the simulation time step, which is proportional to the weight of simulation particles, varies in each cell based on local mean free path. This leads to an efficient particle tracing algorithm on an unstructured grid, which enforces conservation of mass, momentum and energy. This results in great reduction of total simulation particles as compared to the constant time-step scheme. For the TAS method, dynamically adaptive numbers of sub-cells, based on the local mean free path or number of simulation particles, are imposed in each cell to ensure the average collision distance is less than the local mean free path. The results show that this TAS method coupled with the VTS scheme results in great reduction of computational time of DSMC while maintaining very high quality of collision between particles. For the parallel processing of DSMC method, a simple and efficient method which is termed as domain re-decomposition (DRD) method is presented to improve the parallel performance of parallel DSMC simulation without resorting to dynamic domain decomposition. The results indicate that up to 123-135 times of speedup can be reached using 192 processors for the large scale problems which is performed at the ALPS cluster of the National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC), Taiwan. In addition, we also have demonstrated the powerful capability of the PDSC++ code by simulating a three-dimensional problem with more than one billion simulation particles using 768 cores of ALPS.

講演1: A Cut-Cell Method for the Simulation of Gas Microflows
Mr. Guillaume Dechriste
(Université Bordeaux 1, France)
要旨: Current engineering developments make possible the conception of more and more complex Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and the simulation of rarefied gas micro flows in these devices is becoming a challenging issue. In this context, we propose a numerical method for the computation of BGK model of Boltzmann equation in a moving domain.
The account of boundary motion within this framework has been treated by several ways for 1D problems, by the use of Lagrangian and semi-Lagrangian techniques, but also for 2D computations, thanks to immersed boundary method. Another standard approach for the simulation of incompressible viscous flows with moving boundaries is the cut-cell technique. This talk is devoted to the presentation of an extension of this approach to deterministic simulation of rarefied gas flows.
The cut-cell technique consists in building an unstructured mesh based on a primary Cartesian mesh by cutting the cells that are travelled through by the boundary. Unlike immersed boundary method, the numerical scheme is conservative. Moreover this strategy avoids the use of remeshing approaches. Finally, the Cartesian mesh make the parallelization easy to implement.
The method has been tested with both specular and diffuse boundary conditions and has been validated on several 1D and 2D problems.
講演2: Comparison of DSMC Chemistry and Vibrational Models Applied to Oxygen Shock Measurements
Dr. Ingrid Wysong
(Asian Office Aerospace Research and Development, Tokyo, Japan)
要旨: A validation study of three DSMC chemistry models, two recent and one standard, is presented. First the 2D geometry and numerical approach used to simulate the oxygen shock experiments is verified. Next, 2 different vibrational relaxation models are tested by comparison with data for the M=9.3 case where dissociation is small in the nonequilibrium region of the shock. Finally, the 3 DSMC chemistry model results are compared for the M=13.4 case where nonequilbrium dissociation (in the region where the vibrational temperature is greatly different from the rotational and translational temperature) is important. It is shown that the peak vibrational temperature is very sensitive to vibrational favoring in the chemistry model and that the vibrationally-favored KSS model predicts the measured peak reasonably.

講演: Geometrical acoustics (ray acoustics) in applications to aeroacoustics
Dr. Takao Suzuki (Boeing, Seattle, USA)
(鈴木崇夫 博士,音響・流体力学技術部門,ボーイング社)
要旨: Geometrical acoustics (i.e. ray acoustics) is a powerful tool providing insight into wave propagation in the high-frequency limit, where the acoustic wave-length is much shorter than the length scale of the medium (e.g. mean flow).  By expanding the governing wave equation in terms of the frequency (or the wavenumber), the leading-order terms become the eikonal equation solving the ray trajectories, and the second leading-order terms the first-order transport equation solving the amplitude field.  In the presence of velocity and temperature gradients in the mean flow together with a non-slip wall, waves of various types are created due to refraction, reflection, diffraction, and other phenomena.  In this talk, derivation of the ray-tracing equations is first reviewed, and then applications of geometrical acoustics in high-speed flows are introduced.  In particular, an application to a jet screech problem (shock associated noise) is discussed in addition to other types of waves, such as channeled waves and diffracted waves in the vicinity of a boundary layer.

講演: Boundary conditions for the Boltzmann equation on periodic rough walls
Prof. Pierre Charrier
(Université Bordeaux 1, France)
要旨: The derivation of boundary conditions for the Boltzmann equation on walls with nanoscale roughness is revisited. The boundary conditions are formally derived from a nanoscale kinetic model by classical tools of kinetic theory such as scaling and systematic asymptotic analysis. The associated scattering kernels satisfy the classical basic physical requirements. It is shown that this approach allows to obtain complex scattering patterns (with more than one maximum), related to the wall morphology.

講演: Is there any physics missed by the Navier-Stokes equations?
Dr. Demenico Giordano
(European Space Agency & The Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Belgium)
要旨: Since our student days, we fluid dynamicists become accustomed to the idea that the velocity field is the sole kinematic unknown to consider in flow fields. The internal angular momentum is systematically relegated to a rank of lower importance in the vast majority of the applications on the justifying assumption that torques distributed throughout the fluid are usually negligible. There are, of course, noticeable exceptions such as electrically-polarisable and magnetisable fluids; thus the concept of internal angular momentum has become by default associated with the presence of the electromagnetic field in a fluid that reacts to it through polarisation and magnetisation. But, is this truly always the case? The present study reflects on the by-default assumption of discardable internal angular momentum and tries to unravel the implications of the presence of this physical variable on the fluid-dynamics and thermodynamics equations. The (almost provocative) title descends from the fact that, when internal angular momentum is accounted for in the governing equations, linear irreversible thermodynamics produces phenomenological relations different from the traditional ones that close the fluid-dynamics balance equations into the form known as Navier-Stokes’. Are these modified phenomenological relations leading to any new physics that is, therefore, missed by the Naier-Stokes equations? Are they able to resolve flow-field features that so far have proven outside the reach of the Navier-Stokes equations? These interesting questions, stimulating scientific curiosity and deserving inquiring minds’ attention, constitute the main themes of this study !

講演: Deterministic Conservative solvers for the Boltzmann equation
Prof. Irene Gamba
(Department of Mathematics, University of Texas at Austin, USA)
要旨: We will discuss the deterministic conservative spectral and FEM methods for both the non-linear and the linearized Boltzmann equation. These methods uses the weak formulation of the collisional form and the Fourier structure of the collision operator to recast the collisional terms as a weighted convolution with precomputed weights, which contain all of the collision mechanism information, and a constrained optimization problem is solved to ensure preservation of the macroscopic moments.
For the case of the non-linear Boltzmann equation, we will present several examples including the calculations of mixtures, sudden heating simulations, as well as the asymptotic regime for grazing collisions limits with Coulombic-Rutherford potentials and the order of approximation to the solution of the Landau equation in terms of the Debye screening parameter.
For the case of the linearized equation by means of FEM methods, we’ll show calculations of the spectral gap depending on the potential and angular cross section.
This presentation is based on a series of works in collaboration with Ricardo Alonso, S. Harsha Tharkabhushanam, Jeff Haack, Alessandro Munafo, Thierry Magin and Chenglong Zhang.

講演: Extended Thermodynamics of Dense Gases
Part I: Macroscopic Approach
Prof. Masaru Sugiyama
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan)
Part II: Maximum Entropy Principle for Rarefied Polyatomic Gases
Prof. Tommaso Ruggeri
(Faculty of Engineering, University of Bologna, Italy)
要旨: The kinetic theory and Extended Thermodynamics (ET) are important theories for rarefied non-equilibrium gases.  Nevertheless the weak point is that the range is limited mainly to monatomic gases.  In this talk we want to present recent new approach to deduce hyperbolic system for dense gases not necessarily monatomic. In the first part of the talk we study extended thermodynamics of dense gases by adopting the system of field equations with a different hierarchy structure to that adopted in the previous works.  It is the theory of 14 fields of mass density, velocity, temperature, viscous stress, dynamic pressure and heat flux.  As a result, all the constitutive equations can be determined explicitly by the caloric and thermal equations of state as in the case of monatomic gases.  It is shown that the rarefied-gas limit of the theory is consistent with the kinetic theory of gases.In the second part, we limit the result to the physically interesting case of rarefied polyatomic gases and we show a perfect coincidence between ET and the procedure of Maximum Entropy Principle.  The main difference with respect to usual procedure is the existence of two hierarchies of macroscopic equations for moments of suitable distribution function, in which the internal energy of a molecule is taken into account.

講演: Eighteen Strikes
Prof. Shih-Hsien Yu

要旨: The L-Y Algorithm for half space problem is applied to solve the Lamb’s problem for linear elasticity, which is  a fundamental problem in seismology. There are 16 independent Rayleigh surface waves. All of Them are explicitly constructed  as classical solutions in the space-time variable and the lame constants. The solution is so precise to predict how an earth quake  behaves in an isotropic media. One simple consequence is that it will  strike any point in the surface 18 times.

講演1: A conservative scheme for solving coupled surface-bulk convection-diffusion equations with an application to interfacial flows with soluble surfactant
Prof. Ming-Chih Lai
(Department of Applied Mathematics, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan)
要旨: Many physical problems arising in biological or material sciences involve solving partial differential equations in deformable interfaces or complex domains. For instance, the surfactant (an amphiphilic molecular) which usually favors the presence in the fluid interface may couple with the surfactant soluble in one of bulk domains through adsorption and desorption processes. Thus, it is important to accurately solve coupled surface-bulk convection-diffusion equations especially when the interface is moving. In this talk, we present a new conservative scheme for solving this coupled surface-bulk concentration equations which the total surfactant mass is conserved in discrete sense.  As an application, we extend our previous work to the interfacial flows with soluble surfactant. The effects of solubility of surfactant on drop deformations in a quiescent and shear flow are investigated in detail.
講演2: The Landau equation as the weak-coupling limit of interaction particle systems
Prof. Mario Pulvirenti
(Department of Mathematics, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Italy)
要旨: In this talk we exploit the weak-coupling limit of a Hamiltonian particle system. We show, formally, that the Landau equation is the kinetic equation expected to be valid in this scaling limit. We also show that this is also true rigorously, up to the first order in the perturbative expansion.

講演: Deviational Methods for Simulation of Phonon Transport
Prof. Nicolas Hadjiconstantinou
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT, USA)
要旨: Heat tranfer in crystalline solids can be modeled by considering the transport of phonons, quasi-particles representing quantized energy states associated with lattice vibrations. In close analogy with the kinetic theory of gases, a kinetic description becomes particularly useful for mesoscopic scales that are comparable to the mean phonon mean free path but also sufficiently large to be intractable via molecular simulation. In this talk we will discuss Monte Carlo methods for solving the governing kinetic equation for such systems, namely the Boltzmann transport equation. Application of these methods to systems of current practical interest will also be presented.

Our study exhibits interesting relation between the wave propagation along the boundary and the differentiation normal to the boundary.  The key notions of Laplace-Fourier Path and Boundary Determinant will be illustrated for the dissipative wave equations and the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Our approach involves interesting algebraic calculations for the transformed variables and the inversion of the Fourier and Laplace transforms by the subtle complex analytic techniques.

講演2: Solution to the Boltzmann equation with non isothermal boundary
Prof. Raffaele Esposito
(M&MOCS – Universita’ dell’Aquila, Cisterna di Latina, Italy)
要旨: We consider the Boltzmann equation in an arbitrary container of finite size, on whose walls we prescribe Maxwell diffuse reflection b.c. with non homogeneous temperature. Under the assumption that the variations of the wall temperature are sufficiently small we prove that there is a locally unique stationary solution continuous out of an  explicit singular set which is asymptotically stable with exponential rate. A corollary of these results is a proof of non validity of the Fourier law. The proof of such results is based on new constructive and robust coercivity estimates for the linearized problem.

講演1: Stability of Global Maxwellian solutions of the Boltzmann equation
Prof. Claude Bardos
(Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions and University Denis Diderot, Paris, France)
要旨: Initial observation is the fact that global maxwellian provide “eternal ” solutions at the same time of the Boltzmann the compressible Euler and the compressible Navier Stokes equations. These solutions are determined by their macroscopic global moments including besides the classical one the angular momentum, the scalar momentum and the scalar inertial momentum.Then the stability (under perturbation of the initial data) of these solutions is studied continuing a program initiated by Kaniel and Shinbrot.This is a joint work in progress with Irene Gamba and David Levermore.

Dr. Robert Rubinstein
(NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA USA)
要旨: The success of the variable hard sphere (VHS) collision model, as a computationally convenient substitute for the inverse power law (IPL) collision model in DSMC calculations, is indisputable. But what is the reason for this success? We will attempt to quantify the differences between the IPL and VHS models by considering how the corresponding change of the collision integral changes the terms in the Chapman-Enskog and Grad expansions of the Boltzmann equation. Comparison with recent related work by Gallis and Torczynski will be given.

講演1: Boundary singularity for thermal transpiration problem of the linearized Boltzmann equation
Dr. I-Kun Chen
(Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan)
要旨: We consider the thermal transpiration problem in the kinetic theory, which can be modeled by the linearized Boltzmann equation. It is well-known through asymptotic expansions and computations that there is a logarithmic singularity for the fluid velocity around the solid boundary. The goal of this paper is to confirm this basic phenomenon in the kinetic theory through analysis for sufficiently large Knudsen number. We use an iterated scheme, with the ”gain”part of the collision operator as a source. The scheme yields an explicit leading term. The remaining converging terms are estimated through a refined pointwise estimate and Maxwellian upper bound for the gain part. Our analysis is motivated by the previous studies of asymptotic and computational analysis. Numerical data supporting the analysis are also provided.
講演2: Diffuse reflection boundary condition for kinetic models
Prof. Tai-Ping Liu
(Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan)
要旨: With Hung-Wen Kuo and Li-Cheng Tsai, we study two problems on the equilibrating effects of the diffuse reflection boundary condition for the gas motion in a bounded domain. The first problem is to confirm analytically the conjecture of Kazuo Aoki on the free molecular flows with constant boundary temperature. The second is the study of the full Boltzmann equation with variable boundary temperature. For our analysis, we generalize and refine the stochastic formulation of the boundary effects initiated by Shih-Hsien Yu.

講演: Coupling penalization and vortex methods for numerical simulation of incompressible flows
Dr. Iraj Mortazavi
(Département Matmeca, Ecole ENSEIRB-MATMECA, Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux, France)
要旨: The aim of this work is to couple vortex methods with the penalization methods in order to take advantage from both of them. This immersed boundary approach maintains the efficiency of vortex methods for high Reynolds numbers focusing the computational task on the rotational zones and avoids their lack on the no-slip boundary conditions replacing the vortex sheet method by the penalization of obstacles. This method that is very appropriate for bluff-body flows is validated for the flow around different fitted or moving, two and three dimensional obstacles.

Prof. Alexander V. Bobylev

The model depends on three non-negative parameters (g,q,s) where 0<1 is the control parameter. Two other parameters are fixed by market conditions. Self-similar solution of the corresponding kinetic equation for distribution of wealth is studied in detail for various sets of parameters. In particular, we investigate the efficiency of control. Some exact solutions and numerical examples are presented. Existence and uniqueness of solutions are also discussed.

講演: Generalized Burnett Equations and the shock wave structure
Prof. Alexander V. Bobylev
(Department of Mathematics, Karlstad University, Karlstad, Sweden)
要旨: We describe a general idea of regularization of Burnett equations by “small” changes of variables and present the resulting set of equations (GBEs). Then we consider briefly a half-space problem and explain why GBEs give a better qualitative approximation than the Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs). We also present recent results on the shock wave structure, which show the improvement of Navier-Stokes results for moderate Mach numbers. The talk is partly based on joint research with scientists from Parma university (G.Spiga and his group).
