The aim of this work is to clarify the new mathematical model describing the mechanics of continuous media and rarefied gas. The present study is associated with the formulation of conservation laws as conditions of equilibrium of angular momentums, while usually formulated in terms of balance of force. The equations for gas are found from the modified Boltzmann equation and the phenomenological theory. For a rigid body, the equations used the phenomenological theory, but changed their interpretation. We elucidate the contribution of cross-effects in the conservation laws of continuum mechanics, including the self-diffusion, thermal diffusion, etc., which indicated S. Wallander. The paradox of Hilbert in the solution of the Boltzmann equation by the Chapman-Enskog method was resolved. Refined model of the boundary conditions for rarefied gas flows and transient flow were near the moving surfaces. We establish conditions for the existence of the A. N. Kolmogorov inertial range on the basis of the proposed theory. Based on the theory, derivation of the Prandtl formula for boundary layer was received. Delay in mechanics plays an important role on commensurability of relaxation times and lateness. New accounting delay option is proposed to consider the difference between the time derivative as a limit and end values of the mean free path in a rarefied gas. The role of individual time delay for each particle velocity and the average time is debated. The Boltzmann equation is written with an additional term. This situation is typical for discrete medium. The transition from discrete to continuous environment is a key issue mechanics. Summary records of all effects lead to a cumbersome system of equations and therefore require the selection of main effects in a particular situation. The role of the time has similar problems in quantum mechanics. Some examples are suggested.
The conservation laws of continuum mechanics and of the kinetic theory with the influence of the angular momentum and associated with its rotation of the elementary volume are considered, the variant of accounting lag is investigated for discrete environment. The analysis of the recording of the Lagrangian function for the collective interaction of the particles with the change of the center of inertia of the moving particles and the effect influence of the angular momentum were used. The equations for gas are calculated from the modified Boltzmann equation and the phenomenological theory. For a rigid body the equations were used of the phenomenological theory, but their interpretation was changed. The nonsymmetric stress tensor was obtained. The Boltzmann equation is written with an additional summand. This situation is typical for discrete environment as the transition from discrete to continuous environment is a key to the issue of mechanics. Summary records of all effects lead to a cumbersome system of equations and therefore require the selection of main effects in a particular situation. The Hilbert paradox was being solved. The simplest problem of the boundary layer continuum (the Falkner-Skan task) and the kinetic theory are discussed. A draw attention at the delay process would be suggested for the description of discrete environment. Results are received for some special cases.
The classic theory of continuum mechanics does not preserve the continuity of the environment due to the use of the conditions of equilibrium of forces and the symmetry of the stress tensor. We used many unreasonable mathematical approximations when by the Boltzmann equation is solved to describe the equations of continuum mechanics. The paper presents an analysis of mathematical approximations underlying description in different environments, and new models, to avoid the resulting misunderstandings. For rarefied gas the self-diffusion and thermo-diffusion which were foretold by S. V. Vallander are obtained from kinetic theory.
Using the Ostrogradsky-Gauss theorem to construct the laws of conservation and replacement of the integral over the surface by the integral over the volume, we neglect the integral term outside, i.e. neglect the circulation on the sides of the elementary volume (in the two-dimensional case, this is clearly visible). Circulation means the presence of rotation, which in turn means the presence of a moment of force (angular momentum). As a result, we have a symmetric stress tensor, a symmetric velocity tensor, etc. Static pressure, as follows from kinetic theory, there is a zero-order quantity; the terms associated with dissipative effects are first-order quantities. It does not follow from the Boltzmann equation and from the phenomenological theory that the pressure in the Euler equation is equal to one third of the sum of the pressures on the corresponding coordinate axes. The inaccuracy of determining the velocities in the stress tensor in the stress tensor does not strongly affect the results at low speeds. All these issues are discussed in the work. As example in this paper suggests task of flowing liquid at little distance of two parallel plates.
