This paper deals with the mathematical modeling and analysis of a new model of the Boltzmann equation with a finite number of velocity moduli, but with a continuous dependence on the velocity directions. The mathematical model is derived in the first part of the paper. Then the analysis of the equilibrium Maxwellian state is dealt with in the second part of the paper with the purpose of showing that the space of collision invariants is the correct one.

We develop the theory of a Boltzmann equation which is based on a hexagonal discretization of the velocity space. We prove that such a model contains all the basic features of classical kinetic theory, like collision invariants, H-theorem, equilibrium solutions, features of the linearized problem etc. This theory includes the infinite as well as finite hexagonal grids which may be used for numerical purposes.

Kinetic theory is the branch of statistical physics dealing with the dynamics of non-equilibrium processes and their relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium. Established by Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906) in 1872, his eponymous equation stands as its mathematical cornerstone. Originally developed in the framework of dilute gas systems, the Boltzmann equation has spread its wings across many areas of modern statistical physics, including electron transport in semiconductors, neutron transport, quantum-relativistic fluids in condensed matter and even subnuclear plasmas. In this Chapter, a basic introduction to the Boltzmann equation in the context of classical statistical mechanics shall be provided.

A mathematical model coupled with electromagnetic field has been developed to simulate the transient turbulence flow and initial solidification in a slab continuous casting mold under different electromagnetic stirring (EMS) currents and casting speeds. Through comparing the magnetic flux density, flow field with measured results, the reliability of the mathematical model is proved. The uniform index of solidified shell thickness has been introduced to judge the uniformity of the solidified shell. The results show that a horizonal recirculation flow has been generated when EMS is applied, and either accelerated or decelerated regions of flow field are formed in the liquid pool. Large EMS current and low casting speed may cause the plug flow near the mold narrow face and a suitable EMS current can benefit to the uniform growth of solidified shell. Meanwhile, an industrial test exhibits that EMS can weaken the level fluctuation and number density of inclusion. Overall, a rational EMS current range is gained, when the casting speed is 1.2 m/min, the rational EMS current is 500–600 A.
