In this paper, we aim to address several important issues about the recently developed lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for relativistic hydrodynamics [M. Mendoza et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 014502 (2010); Phys. Rev. D 82, 105008 (2010)]. First, we study the conservation law of particle number in the relativistic LB model. Through the Chapman-Enskog analysis, it is shown that in the relativistic LB model the conservation equation of particle number is a convection-diffusion equation rather than a continuity equation, which makes the evolution of particle number dependent on the relaxation time. Furthermore, we investigate the origin of the discontinuities appeared in the relativistic problems with high viscosities, which were reported in a recent study [D. Hupp et al., Phys. Rev. D 84, 125015 (2011)]. A multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) relativistic LB model is presented to examine the influences of different relaxation times on the discontinuities. Numerical experiments show the discontinuities can be eliminated by setting the relaxation time $τ_e$ (related to the bulk viscosity) to be sufficiently smaller than the relaxation time $τ_v$ (related to the shear viscosity). Meanwhile, it is found that the relaxation time $τ_\varepsilon$, which has no effect on the conservation equations at the Navier-Stokes level, will affect the numerical accuracy of the relativistic LB model. Moreover, the accuracy of the relativistic LB model for simulating moderately relativistic problems is also investigated.
Implicit temporal discretization and exact energy conservation for particle methods applied to the Poisson-Boltzmann equation
本文报道了一种新的多尺度方法,用于研究作用在短时间尺度上的短程力和作用在慢得多的尺度上的长程力之间有很大分离的系统。我们考虑泊松-玻尔兹曼方程的情况下,使用玻尔兹曼公式(即,我们假设介质是在准局部热平衡)描述的长程力。我们开发了一种新的方法,其中字段和粒子信息(介导的方程为他们的时刻)解决自洽。新方法是隐式的,数值稳定,提供精确的能量守恒。我们测试了不同的实现方式,所有这些都能实现精确的节能。新方法需要求解大量的非线性方程组。我们考虑了三种解决方案策略:Jacobian Free Newton Krylov,一种称为场隐藏的替代方案,基于隐藏部分残差计算并将其替换为直接解决方案和考虑简化的基于单个粒子的Jacobian的直接Newton Schwarz求解器。域隐藏策略被证明是最有效的方法。

Nonlinear Boltzmann equation for the homogeneous isotropic case: Minimal deterministic Matlab program
齐次各向同性玻尔兹曼方程(HIBE)是热力学、经济物理学和社会动力学中的一个基本动力学模型。尽管最近硬件有所改进,但从计算的角度来看,玻尔兹曼方程的解仍然极具挑战性,特别是通过确定性方法(无随机噪声)。这项工作的目的是改善一个确定性的直接方法最近提出[V. V. Kaviv,Kluwer学术出版社,2001年]解决的HIBE与一个通用的碰撞内核,特别是,照顾后期的动态松弛走向平衡。基本上(a)原始问题根据粒子动能(精确的粒子数和微观碰撞期间的能量守恒)重新表述,以及(b)通过类似DVM的校正来改进弛豫速率的计算,其中DVM代表离散速度模型(确保宏观守恒定律被精确地满足)。这两种校正都可以为该测试用例导出非常准确的参考解决方案。此外,这项工作的目的是分发一个开源程序(称为HOMISBOLTZ),它可以在GNU通用公共许可证的条款下重新分发和/或修改以处理不同的应用程序。该程序的设计目的是为了最小化,不仅是减少行数(少于1,000行),而且是编码风格(尽可能简单)。
