This paper presents a mesoscopic kinetic approach based on molecular velocity distribution to better understand nonequilibrium hydrodynamic and thermodynamic effects in shock waves, contact discontinuities, and rarefaction waves. The study focuses on the one-dimensional unsteady shock tube problem to probe the mechanism of nonequilibrium effect in discontinuous flows, using lattice Boltzmann method to solve the flow field and describing nonequilibrium effects through kinetic moments of molecular velocity distribution functions.
This paper presents a detailed description of a molecular velocity distribution-based mesoscopic kinetic approach that enables a better understanding of various nonequilibrium hydrodynamic and thermodynamic effects in shock waves, contact discontinuities, and rarefaction waves. This builds on the mesoscopic kinetic approach in a previous investigation into regular reflection shocks by further addressing the mesoscopic physical meaning of kinetic moments from the view of kinetics and the implications of the magnitude and sign of nonequilibrium kinetic moments. To deepen understanding of nonequilibrium effects, this work focuses on the one-dimensional unsteady shock tube problem, which contains the typical and essential features of the discontinuous flows, and has no interference of two-dimensional flow direction. The approach uses a lattice Boltzmann method to solve the flow field, and describes nonequilibrium effects through the nonequilibrium kinetic moments of molecular velocity distribution functions. The mechanism of nonequilibrium effect in discontinuous flows is further probed. This work develops the mesoscopic kinetic approach and clarifies the mesoscopic physics of shock waves, contact discontinuities, and rarefaction waves.
