Summary
Kinetic theory describes the behaviors of dynamic systems from a statistical point of view. It has wide applications in many fields, including supersonic flows, microelectromechanical systems, unconventional gas reservoirs, space vehicle re-entry problems, and nuclear fusion. Because of the high dimensionality of such models, efficient simulation is a long-standing challenge, which limits their applications to real-world problems. This research project will address this challenge by developing reduced models to approximate the kinetic equations. These models, called moment models, are expected
