We developed and implemented a numerical algorithm for evaluating the Boltzmann collision integral with $O(MN)$ operations, where $N$ is the number of the discrete velocity points and $M <N$. At the base of the algorithm are nodal-discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of the collision operator on uniform grids and a bilinear convolution form of the Galerkin projection of the collision operator. Efficiency of the algorithm is achieved by applying singular value decomposition compression of the discrete collision kernel and by approximating the kinetic solution by a sum of Maxwellian streams using a stochastic likelihood maximization algorithm. Accuracy of the method is established on solutions to the problem of spatially homogeneous relaxation.

Keywords: Kinetic equations, collision integral, nodal-discontinuous Galerkin discretizations, convolution formulation, dynamics of non-continuum gas.

Figure 2. Directional temperatures in the solutions to the problem of spatially homogeneous relaxation for the initial data corresponding to Mach 1.55 (a), (b) and Mach 3.0 (c), (d) shock waves. The solutions shown in Figures (a) and (c) are obtained by using the truncated kernel method for evaluating the collision integral. The solid line corresponds to the solution using the full Boltzmann integral. The new model looses accuracy at about three mean free times for both Mach 1.55 and Mach 3.0 solutions. The solutions shown in Figures (b) and (d) are obtained by using the truncated kernel model for about three mean free times and by using the ellipsoidal-statistical Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model after
