Abstract
A new kinetic model is proposed where the equilibrium distribution with bounded support has a range of velocities about two average velocities in 1D. In 2D, the equilibrium distribution function has a range of velocities about four average velocities, one in each quadrant. In the associated finite volume scheme, the average velocities are used to enforce the Rankine�Hugoniot jump conditions for the numerical diffusion at cell-interfaces, thereby capturing steady discontinuities exactly. The variable range of velocities is used to provide additional diffusion in smooth regions. Further, a novel kinetic theory based expression for relative entropy is presented which, along with an additional criterion, is used to identify expansions and smooth flow regions. Appropriate flow tangency and far-field boundary conditions are formulated for the proposed kinetic model. Several benchmark 1D and 2D compressible flow test cases are solved to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed solver. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
