Multiscale Hilbert expansion and hydrodynamics beyond Navier-Stokes

Abstract

A truncated Hilbert expansion with multiple scales is used to construct asymptotic solution of the linearized one-dimensional Boltzmann equation with small Knudsen number. The freedom ganed by introducing new independent time variables is exploited to eliminate the sources of secular behavior as the time interval increases. The regular gas-dynamic equations then appear as necessary conditions for expansion to be uniformly valid on a long time intervals.
