Review text

This paper is concerned with the scattering kernel theory for polyatomic gases. First, the authors derive the Boltzmann equation for distribution function \(f(v,\mathcal{E},r,t),\) where \(\mathcal{E}\) is the rotational energy, and then review earlier models of elastic and maximally inelastic interactions, as well as discuss the one-parameter Borgnakke-Larsen (B-L) model, which is a linear interpolation of the two above-mentioned models. Then the authors introduce two new two-parameter scattering kernels, one of which reduces to the B-L model in a parameter limit. The kernels are used to calculate the transport coefficients like viscosity or thermal conductivity. A comparison with experiments shows that the new models are more accurate than the B-L model, and some theoretical reasoning for this is provided.
