The Green's function for the Broadwell model with a transonic boundary

Abstract

We study an initial boundary value problem for the Broadwell model with a transonic physical boundary. The Green's function for the initial boundary value problem is obtained by combining the estimates of the full boundary data and the Green's function for the initial value problem. The full boundary data is constructed from the imposed boundary data through an iteration scheme. The iteration scheme is designed to separate the interaction between the boundary wave and the interior wave and leads to a convergent series in the iterative boundary estimates. © 2008 World Scientific Publishing Company.
