Abstract: We present a high-order, fully explicit, asymptotic-preserving projective integration scheme for the nonlinear BGK equation. The method first takes a few small (inner) steps with a simple, explicit method (such as direct forward Euler) to damp out the stiff components of the solution. Then, the time derivative is estimated and used in an (outer) Runge-Kutta method of arbitrary order. Based on the spectrum of the linearized BGK operator, we deduce that, with an appropriate choice of inner step size, the time step restriction on the outer time step as well as the number of inner time steps is independent of the stiffness of the BGK source term. We illustrate the method with numerical results in one and two spatial dimensions.
