The Boltzmann equation for plane Couette flow in a finite channel. (English) Zbl 07835877

The paper studies the Boltzmann equation for hard potentials with angular cutoff in the channel domain \(\mathbb{T}\times[-1,1]\times \mathbb{T}\) with isothermal and moving boundaries at \(x_2=-1\) and \(x_2=1\), respectively. On the boundaries \(x_2=\pm 1\), the authors consider the diffuse reflection boundary conditions. R.-J. Duan et al. [“The Boltzmann equation for plane Couette flow”, Preprint, arXiv:2107.02458] recently proved the existence of a unique steady solution to this boundary value problem, and the authors of this paper prove the local stability of the steady state. The authors also prove that there is a unique global solution which converges to the steady state exponentially fastly in the weighted \(L^\infty\) norm.
