This work is mainly concerned with the extension of hydrodynamics beyond the Navier–
Stokes equations, a regime known as Burnett hydrodynamics. The derivation of the Burnett …

Fluid flows that do not have local equilibrium are characteristic of some of the new frontiers
in engineering and technology, for example, high–speed high–altitude aerodynamics and …

Derivations of relativistic second-order dissipative hydrodynamic equations have relied
almost exclusively on the use of Grad's 14-moment approximation to write f (x, p), the …

Despite a long record of intense effort, the basic mechanisms by which dissipation emerges
from the microscopic dynamics of a relativistic fluid still elude complete understanding. In …

Introduction Developing a quantitative understanding of wave plasma processes in the
lower ionosphere requires a reasonably accurate theoretical description of the underlying …

It is well known that magnetic fields affect heat conduction in a different way in the direction
parallel and perpendicular to the field. In this paper, a formal derivation of this phenomenon …

Moment's methods devised to solve the Boltzmann kinetic equation for a simple, inert, dilute
gas exhibit inconsistencies. These are brought up in a general way for the ordinary …

Relativistic fluid dynamics finds application in astrophysics, cosmology and the physics of
high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In this thesis, we present our work on the formulation of …

When an electrically charged system is subjected to the action of an electromagnetic field, it
responds by generating an electrical current. In the case of amulticomponent plasma, other …

In this thesis, I present the results obtained during the course of the Ph. D. project Algorithms
for Relativistic Lattice Boltzmann, one of the projects created in the framework of the …
