“…In comparison with the conserved quantities (mass, momentum and energy), the rapidly changing modes usually have much smaller relaxation times, and decay quickly. Therefore the elimination can be done by retaining one or a few terms in the expansion of the general solution with respect to the characteristic times of the rapidly changing modes, λ −1 1 and λ −1 2 [29][30][31]. More explicitly, we apply to (23) the following kind of approximation obtained by successive integrations by parts and by neglecting transient terms:…”
