Abstract

Angular moments models based on a minimum entropy problem have been largely used to describe the transport of photons [14] or charged particles [18]. In this communication the $ M_1 $ and $ M_2 $ angular moments models are presented for rarefied gas dynamics applications. After introducing the models studied, numerical simulations carried out in various collisional regimes are presented and illustrate the interest in considering angular moments models for rarefied gas dynamics applications. For each numerical test cases, the differences observed between the angular moments models and the well-known Navier-Stokes equations are discussed and compared with reference kinetic solutions.
