Construction of BGK Models with a Family of Kinetic Entropies for a Given
System of Conservation Laws
François Bouchut
Abstract:
We introduce a general framework for kinetic BGK models. We assume
to be given a system of hyperbolic conservation laws with a family
of Lax entropies, and we characterize the BGK models that lead to this
system in the hydrodynamic limit, and that are compatible with
the whole family of entropies. This is obtained by a new
characterization of maxwellians as entropy minimizers, that can take
into account the simultaneous minimization problems corresponding
to the family of entropies. We deduce a general procedure to construct
such BGK models, and we give examples and applications in gas dynamics.
