A non-local quasi-equilibrium state in the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook Boltzmann equation for thermo-hydrodynamics: conservation laws, the Boltzmann H-theorem, and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (Q6175442)

The article under review presents a novel approach to the modeling of thermo-hydrodynamic equations using a non-local quasi-equilibrium state. This method allows for the inclusion of long-range interactions and offers flexibility in selecting transport coefficients and the equation of state, addressing some of the limitations of previous models. The author derives the continuity, Navier-Stokes, and heat-transfer equations using the Chapman-Enskog expansion and ensures the consistency of the proposed model with fundamental physical laws, including conservation laws, the Boltzmann H-theorem, and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The paper stands out for its rigorous mathematical approach and its potential to open new avenues in fluid dynamics research, providing a robust and versatile framework for future studies in the field.
