Kinetic theory plays a vital role in a wide range of high-tech fields, including space exploration, plasma physics, and microscale flows. However, directly solving the governing equations—such as the Boltzmann equation—remains computationally expensive and often impractical for large-scale systems. To address this challenge, researchers have been developing highly efficient numerical solvers and exploring simplified model alternatives.
The numerical difficulties encountered in different application areas vary significantly and are often hard to tackle. Nonetheless, methods developed for the Boltzmann equation are now being extended and applied to related problems, including radiative transfer, plasma, etc.
In recent years, research on direct Boltzmann solvers, model reduction techniques, and their diverse applications has become increasingly active. This workshop aims to bring together leading researchers from around the world to present their latest advancements, share insights, and foster collaboration within the kinetic theory community.
