Acoustic and Stokes limits for the Boltzmann equation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Boltzmann equation is considered over a periodic spatial domain for bounded collision kernels. Appropriately scaled families of DiPerna-Lions renormalized solutions are shown to have fluctuations that converge entropically (and hence strongly in L1) to a unique limit governed by a solution of the acoustic or Stokes equations, provided that its initial fluctuations converge entropically to an appropriate limit associated to any given L2 initial data of the acoustic or Stokes equations. The associated conservation laws are recovered in the limit.
