Abstract

The relaxed Burnett system, recently introduced in as a hydrodynamical approximation of the Boltzmann equation, is numerically solved. Due to the stiffness of this system and the severe CFL condition for large Mach numbers, a fully implicit Runge-Kutta method has been used. In order to reduce computing time, we apply a parallel stiff ODE solver based on 4-stage Radau IIA IRK. The ODE solver is combined with suitable first order upwind and second order MUSCL relaxation schemes for the spatial derivatives. Speedup results and comparisons to DSMC and Navier-Stokes approximations are reported for a 1D shock profile.
