Molecular extended thermodynamics of rarefied polyatomic gases is characterized by two hierarchies of equations for moments of a suitable distribution function in which the internal degrees of freedom of a molecule is taken into account. On the basis of physical relevance the truncation orders of the two hierarchies are proven to be not independent on each other, and the closure procedures based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP) and on the entropy principle (EP) are proven to be equivalent. The characteristic velocities of the emerging hyperbolic system of differential equations are compared to those obtained for monatomic gases and the lower bound estimate for the maximum equilibrium characteristic velocity established for monatomic gases (characterized by only one hierarchy for moments with truncation order of moments N) by Boillat and Ruggeri (1997) lambda(E, max)((N)) >= root 6/5(N-1/2), (c(0) = root 5/3 k/mT) is proven to hold also for rarefied polyatomic gases independently from the degrees of freedom of a molecule.

Characteristic velocity and dispersion relation of linear waves in extended thermodynamics of a van der Waals gas

Takashi Arima

Summary: This study explores the characteristic velocities of molecular rotational and vibrational relaxation processes in a van der Waals gas, estimating lower and upper bounds based on rarefied gases and the spinodal curve. Additionally, the dispersion relation of linear waves, including phase velocity, attenuation factor, and attenuation per wavelength in a low-frequency range, is investigated in detail.

Which moments are appropriate to describe gases with internal structure in Rational Extended Thermodynamics?

Takashi Arima, Maria Cristina Carrisi, Sebastiano Pennisi, Tommaso Ruggeri

Summary: Inspired by Pennisi (2021) in the relativistic framework, this study proposes a new natural physical hierarchy of moments to describe classical rarefied non-polytropic polyatomic gas within the framework of Molecular Rational Extended Thermodynamics. By considering the case of 15 moments and utilizing the variational method of the Maximum Entropy Principle, the system is closed and the convexity of entropy is proven, with the possibility of putting the system in symmetric form. This richer kinetic framework may have potential applications in biomathematics and other fields where kinetic models have been successfully applied recently.

Relativistic Rational Extended Thermodynamics of Polyatomic Gases with a New Hierarchy of Moments

Takashi Arima, Maria Cristina Carrisi, Sebastiano Pennisi, Tommaso Ruggeri

Summary: A relativistic extension of thermodynamics for polyatomic gases is proposed, taking into account the total energy of the system and the internal mode energy of molecules. Moment equations associated with the Boltzmann-Chernikov equation are derived and a closed system of equations is obtained. The system satisfies the entropy principle, making it symmetric hyperbolic and well-posed. The ultra-relativistic and classical limits are also studied, and subsystems with 14 and 6 moments are derived.

Emergent behaviors of the continuum thermodynamic Kuramoto model in a large coupling regime

Seung-Yeal Ha, Myeongju Kang, Hansol Park, Tommaso Ruggeri, Woojoo Shim

Summary: The study focuses on the emergent dynamics of the continuum thermodynamic Kuramoto model, showing two sequential processes of temperature homogenization and phase-locking. The phase field in a constant natural frequency field converges to one-point cluster or bipolar cluster, while in a nonconstant natural frequency field, it reaches a phased-locked state asymptotically.

A complete classification of sub-shocks in the shock structure of a binary mixture of Eulerian gases with different degrees of freedom

Tommaso Ruggeri, Shigeru Taniguchi

Summary: The shock structure in a binary mixture of polyatomic Eulerian gases with different degrees of freedom is studied using the multi-temperature model of rational extended thermodynamics. The possible sub-shocks are identified based on the change in the Mach number and equilibrium concentration. The regions for sub-shock formation are determined and the relationship between acceleration waves and sub-shocks is derived.

Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations as a parabolic limit of a general hyperbolic system of rational extended thermodynamics

Takashi Arima, Andrea Mentrelli, Tommaso Ruggeri

Summary: The paper aims to demonstrate that a general system of 14 balance laws for a compressible, possibly dense, gas, which satisfies the universal principles of Rational Extended Thermodynamics (RET), converges to the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations in the first step of the Maxwellian iteration. Furthermore, in a theory not far from equilibrium, the study shows that the production terms of the hyperbolic system can be uniquely determined by assigning the heat conductivity, shear viscosity, and bulk viscosity. The obtained results are tested on the RET theories for rarefied monatomic and polyatomic gases.

A novel effect of dynamic pressure on a nonequilibrium flow of a rarefied polyatomic gas through a diverging nozzle

Takashi Arima, Masaru Sugiyama

Summary: This study investigates the nonequilibrium flows of a rarefied polyatomic gas through a diverging nozzle under the effect of dynamic pressure. It is found that even in a diverging nozzle, choking phenomena can occur if the gas at the nozzle inlet is in a nonequilibrium state. Furthermore, the controllability of gas flows in a nozzle by manipulating the temperature of molecular internal modes such as molecular rotation and vibration is discussed.

Shock structure and sub-shocks formation in a mixture of polyatomic gases with large bulk viscosity

Tommaso Ruggeri, Shigeru Taniguchi

Summary: In this study, we continue to investigate the formation of sub-shocks in a binary mixture of gases, taking into account the dissipation caused by bulk viscosity in both constituents. Using a mixture of gases model proposed by T. Arima et al., we classify the regions based on concentration and Mach number to determine whether sub-shocks may exist inside the shock profiles of the constituents. Numerical calculations of the shock profiles for various gas mixtures show that the presence of dissipation leads to a more regularized shock profile and a reduction in the amplitude of sub-shocks compared to non-dissipative gases.

Effect of the dynamic pressure on nozzle gas-flows

Takashi Arima, Masaru Sugiyama

Summary: Flows of rarefied polyatomic gas in a nozzle with simple geometry were numerically studied using the rational extended thermodynamics theory with six independent fields (RET6). The study focused on the effect of dynamic pressure (nonequilibrium part of the pressure) on nozzle gas flows. By comparing the flow profiles with those predicted by the Euler theory, the development of nonequilibrium state of gas along the flow was investigated. Qualitatively different flow profiles from those predicted by the Euler theory were observed under certain conditions. Choking phenomena were also observed based on RET6. These findings confirm the usefulness of RET6 theory in analyzing nozzle gas flows.

Molecular Extended Thermodynamics of Rarefied Polyatomic Gases with a New Hierarchy of Moments

Takashi Arima, Tommaso Ruggeri

Summary: This paper aims to construct a new hierarchy of molecular extended thermodynamics for classical rarefied polyatomic gases, incorporating internal degrees of freedom, by deducing a new hierarchy from the classical limit of relativistic theory of moments. The field equations for 15 moments of the distribution function are closed with the maximum entropy principle, showing convergence to the Kremer 14-moment system in the monatomic limit.

Maximum entropy principle closure for 14-moment system for a non-polytropic gas

Tommaso Ruggeri

Summary: This paper discusses a rarefied polyatomic gas with a non-polytropic equation of state and uses the maximum entropy principle (MEP) to obtain the closure of the binary hierarchy of 14 moments associated with the Boltzmann equation. The closed partial differential system is symmetric hyperbolic and well-posed for the Cauchy problem. In the limiting case of polytropic gas, it confirms previous results and completes the equivalence between different closure methods for non-polytropic gas.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the geometry of wormholes in the framework of general relativity and explore how quantum wave dark matter affects the dynamical configuration of the shell surrounding the wormhole. By using specific shape functions and introducing quantum wave dark matter, we obtain reasonable wormhole solutions and observe its effects on the stability of the shell.

Specific heat of a driven lattice gas

Pritha Dolai, Christian Maes

Summary: Calorimetry for equilibrium systems aims to determine the energy levels' occupation and distribution by measuring thermal response, while nonequilibrium versions provide additional information on the dynamical accessibility of these states. Using calculations on a driven exclusion process, it is confirmed that a fermionic nonequilibrium steady state with exact computation of specific heat can be achieved. The divergence at zero temperature occurs when the Fermi energy and the kinetic barrier for loading and emptying are approximately equal. Additionally, a stable low temperature regime of negative specific heat appears when the kinetic barrier is density-dependent, indicating an anti-correlation between the stationary occupation's temperature-dependence and excess heat.

Some remarks on Hayward black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings

F. F. Nascimento, V. B. Bezerra, J. M. Toledo

Summary: We obtained the metric of the Hayward black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings, and analyzed the effects of the string cloud on the regularity of the solution and the energy conditions. Various aspects such as horizons, geodesics, effective potential, and thermodynamics were investigated. We compared the obtained results with the literature corresponding to the Hayward black hole without a string cloud.
