“…Examples include the model of Gross and Krook [29], the model of Hamel [32], the model of Greene [27], the model of Garzo, Santos and Brey [26], the model of Sofonea and Sekerka [57], the model by Andries, Aoki and Perthame [1], the model of Brull, Pavan and Schneider [13], the model of Klingenberg, Pirner and Puppo [40], the model of Haack, Hauck, Murillo [31] and the model of Bobylev, Bisi, Groppi, Spiga [10]. BGK models have also been extended to ES-BGK models, polyatomic molecules or chemically reactive gas mixtures; see for example [8,9,14,28,38,39,41,49,60]. BGK models are often used in applications because they give rise to efficient numerical computations as compared to models with Boltzmann collision terms [5,6,16,17,24,48,53,54].…”
