Modeling and Applied Mathematics Modeling the behavior of real physical systems by suitable evolution equa- tions is a relevant, maybe the fundamental, aspect of the interactions be- tween mathematics and applied sciences. Modeling is, however, only the first step toward the mathematical description and simulation of systems belonging to real world. Indeed, once the evolution equation is proposed, one has to deal with mathematical problems and develop suitable simula- tions to provide the description of the real system according to the model. Within this framework, one has an evolution...

Presents applications to several fluid dynamics problems both in bounded and unbounded domains in the framework of the discrete velocity models of kinetic theory. The proposition of new models for dense gases, gases with multi-components and gases with che
