Steepest Entropy Ascent Models of the Boltzmann Equation: Comparisons With Hard-Sphere Dynamics and Relaxation-Time Models for Homogeneous Relaxation From Highly Non-Equilibrium States
We present a family of steepest entropy ascent (SEA) models of the Boltzmann equation. The models preserve the usual collision invariants (mass, momentum, energy), as well as the non-negativity of the phase-space distribution, and have a strong built-in thermodynamic consistency, i.e., they entail a...
