A consistent kinetic Fokker-Planck model for gas mixtures (2403.18478v2)

Abstract: We propose a general multi-species Fokker-Planck model. We prove consistency of our model: conservation properties, positivity of all temperatures, H-Theorem and the shape of equilibrium as Maxwell distributions with the same mean velocity and temperature. Moreover, we derive the usual macroscopic equations from the kinetic two-species BGK model and compute explicitly the exchange terms of momentum and energy.
