“…Extensions to polyatomic gases, where the polyatomicity is modeled by either a discrete, or, a continuous internal energy variable for single species [4,5,12], or, mixtures [6,7] have very recently been conducted. Compactness results are also recently obtained for models of polyatomic single gases, with a continuous internal energy variable, where the molecules undergo resonant collisions (for which internal energy and kinetic energy, respectively, are conserved) [9]. In this work, 1 we extend the results for mixtures of mono-and polyatomic (non-reacting) species in [6], where the polyatomicity is modeled by a continuous internal energy variable, cf., [1,2,15], to include chemical reactions, in form of dissociations and recombinations (associations) [14].…”

At higher altitudes near space shuttles moving at hypersonic speed the air is excited to high temperatures. Then not only mechanical collisions are affecting the gas flow, but also chemical reactions have an impact on such hypersonic flows. In this work we insert chemical reactions, in form of dissociations and associations, in a model for a mixture of mono- and polyatomic (non-reacting) species. More general chemical reactions, e.g., bimolecular ones, can be obtained by instant combinations of the considered reactions. Polyatomicity is here modelled by a continuous internal energy variable and the evolution of the gas is described by a Boltzmann equation. In the Chapman-Enskog process—and related half-space problems—the linearized Boltzmann collision operator plays a central role. Here we extend some important properties of the linearized operator to the considered model with chemical reactions. A compactness result, that the linearized operator can be decomposed into a sum of a positive multiplication operator—the collision frequency—and a compact integral operator, is obtained. The terms of the integral operator are shown to be (at least) uniform limits of Hilbert-Schmidt integral operators and, thereby, compact operators. Self-adjointness of the linearized operator follows as a direct consequence. Also, bounds on—including coercivity of—the collision frequency is obtained for hard sphere, as well as hard potentials with cutoff, like models. As consequence, Fredholmness as well as the domain of the linearized operator are obtained.

The linearized Boltzmann collision operator has a central role in many important applications of the Boltzmann equation. Recently some important classical properties of the linearized collision operator for monatomic single species were extended to multicomponent monatomic gases and polyatomic single species. For multicomponent polyatomic gases, the case where the polyatomicity is modelled by a discrete internal energy variable was considered lately. Here we considers the corresponding case for a continuous internal energy variable. Compactness results, saying that the linearized operator can be decomposed into a sum of a positive multiplication operator, the collision frequency, and a compact operator, bringing e.g., self-adjointness, is extended from the classical result for monatomic single species, under reasonable assumptions on the collision kernel. With a probabilistic formulation of the collision operator as a starting point, the compactness property is shown by a decomposition, such that the terms are, or at least are uniform limits of, Hilbert-Schmidt integral operators and therefore are compact operators. Moreover, bounds on -including coercivity of -the collision frequency are obtained for a hard sphere like, as well as hard potentials with cutoff like, models, from which Fredholmness of the linearized collision operator follows, as well as its domain.

The linearized Boltzmann collision operator appears in many important applications of the Boltzmann equation. Therefore, knowing its main properties is of great interest. This work extends some classical results for the linearized Boltzmann collision operator for monatomic single species to the case of polyatomic single species, while also reviewing corresponding results for multicomponent mixtures of monatomic species. The polyatomicity is modeled by a discrete internal energy variable, that can take a finite number of (given) different values. Results concerning the linearized Boltzmann collision operator being a nonnegative symmetric operator with a finite-dimensional kernel are reviewed.A compactness result, saying that the linearized operator can be decomposed into a sum of a positive multiplication operator, the collision frequency, and a compact operator, bringing e.g., self-adjointness, is extended from the classical result for monatomic single species, under reasonable assumptions on the collision kernel. With a probabilistic formulation of the collision operator as a starting point, the compactness property is shown by a splitting, such that the terms can be shown to be, or be the uniform limit of, Hilbert-Schmidt integral operators and as such being compact operators. Moreover, bounds on - including coercivity of - the collision frequency are obtained for a hard sphere like model, from which Fredholmness of the linearized collision operator follows, as well as its domain.
