Moment closure hierarchies for rarefied gases

The paper proposes an approximate closure procedure for hierarchies of macroscopic equations for rarefied gases, derived as moment equations from the Boltzmann equation in kinetic theory of gases. The procedure is based upon application of the maximum entropy principle. If the exact minimiz...
