✦ Synopsis

A kinetic method for hyperbolic-elliptic equations is presented in this paper. In the mixed type system, the coexistence of liquid and gas and the phase transition between them are described by the van der Waals-type equation of state (EOS). Because the fluid is unstable in the elliptic region, the interface between liquid and gas can be captured naturally through condensation and evaporation processes, which continuously remove any "averaged" numerical fluid away from the elliptic region at the interfaces. As a result, a sharp liquid-gas interface can be constructed from the competition between the numerical diffusion and phase transition. The numerical examples presented in this paper include both phase transition and multifluid interface problems.

This paper concerns the extension of the multicomponent gas-kinetic BGK-type scheme to chemical reactive flow calculations. In the kinetic model, each component satisfies its individual gas-kinetic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation, and the equilibrium states of both components are coupled in spa

## Abstract In this paper we establish the exact boundary controllability for quasilinear hyperbolic systems with interface conditions. As an application, we get the exact boundary controllability of unsteady flows in a string‐like network of open canals. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
