Abstract

A recently proposed consistent BGK-type approach for chemically reacting gas mixtures is discussed, which accounts for the correct rates of transfer for mass, momentum and energy, and recovers the exact conservation equations and collision equilibria, including mass action law. In particular, the hydrodynamic limit is derived by a Chapman-Enskog procedure, and compared to existing results for the reactive and non-reactive cases.
