A Multilevel Finite Difference Scheme for One-Dimensional Burgers Equation Derived from the Lattice Boltzmann Method

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2012
An explicit finite difference scheme for one-dimensional Burgers equation is derived from the lattice Boltzmann method. The system of the lattice Boltzmann equations for the distribution of the fictitious particles is rewritten as a three-level finite ...

A topology optimization method for rarefied gas flows

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
We construct a topology optimization method for two dimensional rarefied gas flow problems, based on level-set boundary expressions. The degree of rarefaction is expressed by the Knudsen number, which is the ratio of the mean free path and the ...

Boltzmann Equation for Relativistic Neutral Scalar Field in Non-equilibrium Thermo Field Dynamics

open access: yes, 2011
A relativistic neutral scalar field is investigated on the basis of the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the non-equilibrium thermo field dynamics. A time evolution equation for a distribution function is obtained from a diagonalization condition for the ...

Non-Boltzmann behavior from the Boltzmann equation

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 1995
We compute the stress autocorrelation function in a two- and three-dimensional system by using the lattice-Boltzmann method. The algebraic long-time behavior ∼t-d/2 in the stress correlation function is clearly observed. The amplitude of this tail is compared with the mode-coupling expression for the long-time tail in the stress correlation function ...

Copper‐Based Crystalline‐Metallic Glass Composite Thin Films: A Novel Material with Enhanced Strength and Thermally Stable Nanotwins

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Cu‐based crystal‐glass composite with high‐density twins is identified by a fast screening technique using combinatorial sputtering together with XRD and nanoindentation mapping. This bamboo‐like structure demonstrates homogenous plastic flow and retains high strength during in situ high temperature tests, up to 1 GPa at 550°C, owing to those ...

A gradient flow approach to the Boltzmann equation

open access: yes, 2019
We show that the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation evolves as the gradient flow of the entropy with respect to a suitable geometry on the space of probability measures which takes the collision process into account.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.
