Abstract

This paper derives a higher-order transport equations for rarefied gases and are developed within the framework of kinetic theory. In particular, a thirty-five moment theory by considering all zeroth-order to full fourth-order velocity moments of the particle distribution function for a dilute smooth hard-sphere gas is derived by employing the well-known moment closure approach, namely, Grad's method of moments. The linear stability analysis is performed on the the derived Grad type 35-moment equations to examine the spatial and temporal stability for small perturbations in space and time, respectively. Based on the plane wave solution analysis, we confirm that the thirty-five moment system is spatially and temporally stable.
