La limite de Navier-Stokes pour l'équation de Boltzmann

Translated title of the contribution: The Navier-Stokes limit for the Boltzmann equation

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Appropriately scaled families of DiPerna-Lions renormalized solutions of the Boltzmann equation are shown to have fluctuations whose limit points (in the weak L1 topology) are governed by a Leray solution of the limiting Navier-Stokes equations. This completes the arguments in Bardos-Golse-Levermore [Commun. on Pure and Appl. Math. 46 (5) (1993) 667-753] for the steady case, extended by Lions-Masmoudi [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 158 (3) (2001) 173-193] to the time-dependent case.
