Stability analysis of an extended quadrature method of moments for kinetic equations
share
This paper performs a stability analysis of a class of moment closure systems derived with an extended quadrature method of moments (EQMOM) for the one-dimensional BGK equation. The class is characterized with a kernel function. A sufficient condition on the kernel is identified for the EQMOM-derived moment systems to be strictly hyperbolic. We also investigate the realizability of the moment method. Moreover, sufficient and necessary conditions are established for the two-node systems to be well-defined and strictly hyperbolic, and to preserve the dissipation property of the kinetic equation.
