Combining Hyperbolic Quadrature Method of Moments and Discrete-Velocity-Direction Models for Solving BGK-type Equations

Abstract: This paper introduces the discrete-velocity-direction model (DVDM) in conjunction with the hyperbolic quadrature method of moments (HyQMOM) to develop a multidimensional spatial-temporal approximation of the BGK equation, termed DVD-HyQMOM. Serving as a multidimensional extension of HyQMOM, DVD-HyQMOM model achieves higher accuracy than other DVDM submodels, especially with an increased number of abscissas. The efficiency and effectiveness of this model are demonstrated through various numerical tests.
