The Maxwell-Stefan diffusion limit for a kinetic model of mixtures with general cross sections (Q2361690)

The paper deals with mass transport in gaseous mixture. Its main purpose is to show how one can derive the Maxwell-Stefan formalism from the Boltzmann equation involving particle mixture. One introduces kinetic models for monoatomic gaseous mixtures and then one displays computational results on the Maxwell-Stefan diffusion equation. The introduction of the paper is pedagogically very interesting.
