Coupling of the model reduction technique
with the lattice Boltzmann method, Combustion and Flame, 2010 
doi:10.1016/j.combustflame.2010.06.009
A new framework of
simulation of reactive flows is proposed based on a coupling between accurate
reduced reaction mechanism and the lattice Boltzmann representation of the flow
phenomena. The model reduction is developed in the setting of slow invariant
manifold construction, and the simplest lattice Boltzmann equation is used in
order to work out the procedure of coupling of the reduced model with the flow
solver. Practical details of constructing slow invariant manifolds of a
reaction system under various thermodynamic conditions are reported. The
proposed method is validated with the two-dimensional simulation of a premixed counterflow flame in the hydrogen-air mixture.

The Role of Thermodynamics in Model Reduction when Using Invariant Grids, Commun. Comput. Phys., Vol. 8, No. 4 (2010), pp. 701-734.
In the present work, we develop in detail the process leading to reduction of models in chemical kinetics when using the Method of Invariant Grids (MIG). To this end, reduced models (invariant grids) are obtained by refining initial approximations of slow invariant manifolds, and used for integrating smaller and less stiff systems of equations capable to recover the detailed description with high accuracy. Moreover, we clarify the role played by thermodynamics in model reduction, and carry out a comparison between detailed and reduced solutions for a model hydrogen oxidation reaction.

Combustion simulation via lattice Boltzmann and reduced chemical kinetics, J. Stat. Mech. (2009) P06013.
We present and validate a methodology for coupling reduced models of detailed combustion mechanisms within the lattice Boltzmann framework. A detailed mechanism (9 species, 21 elementary reactions) for modeling reacting mixtures of air and hydrogen is considered and reduced using the method of invariant grids (MIG). In particular, a 2D quasi-equilibrium grid is constructed, further refined via the MIG method, stored in the form of tables and used to simulate a 1D flame propagating freely through a homogeneous premixed mixture. Comparisons between the detailed and reduced models show that the technique presented enables one to achieve a remarkable speedup in the computations with excellent accuracy.

A modern approach to
model reduction in chemical kinetics is often based on the notion of slow
invariant manifold. The goal of this paper is to give a comparison of various
methods of construction of slow invariant manifolds using a simple Michaelis-Menten catalytic reaction. We explore a recently
introduced Method of Invariant Grids (MIG) for iteratively solving the
invariance equation. Various initial approximations for the grid are considered
such as Quasi Equilibrium Manifold, Spectral Quasi Equilibrium Manifold,
Intrinsic Low Dimensional Manifold and Symmetric Entropic Intrinsic Low Dimensional
Manifold. Slow invariant manifold was also computed using the Computational
Singular Perturbation (CSP) method. A comparison between MIG and CSP is also
reported.

Complexity
in the description of big chemical reaction networks has both structural
(number of species and reactions) and temporal (very different reaction rates)
aspects. A consistent way to make model reduction is to construct the invariant
manifold which describes the asymptotic system behaviour. In this paper we
present a discrete analogue of this object: an invariant grid. The invariant
grid is introduced independently from the invariant manifold notion and can
serve to represent the dynamic system behaviour as well as to approximate the
invariant manifold after refinement. The method is designed for pure
dissipative systems and widely uses their thermodynamic properties but allows
also generalizations for some classes of open systems. The method is
illustrated by two examples: the simplest catalytic reaction (Michaelis-Menten mechanism) and the hydrogen oxidation.

In this paper, explicit methodа of constructingа approximations (the Triangle Entropy Method)
is developed for nonequilibrium problems.а This method enables one to treat any complicated
nonlinear functionals that fit best the physicsа of a problem
(suchа as, forа example, rates of processes) as new
independent variables.
The work of the method was demonstrated on the Boltzmann's - type kinetics.
Newаа macroscopic variables are introduced
(moments of the Boltzmannа
collision integral, or scattering rates). They are treatedа asа independent variables rather than as infinite
moment series. Thisа
approach gives the completeа
accountа ofа ratesа
of scatteringа processes.
Transport equations for scattering rates are obtained (theа second hydrodynamic chain), similar to
the usual moment chain (theа first
hydrodynamic chain). Various examples of the closure of the first, of the
second, and of the mixed hydrodynamic chainsа are considered for the hard spheres
model. It isа shown,
in particular, that the complete accountа
of scattering processesа leads to
a renormalization of transport coefficients.
The method gives the explicit solution for the closure problem, provides
thermodynamic properties of reduced models, and can be applied to any kinetic
equation with a thermodynamic Lyapunov function

We review some recent developments of Grad's approach
to solving the Boltzmann equation and creating reduced description. The method
of invariant manifold is put forward as a unified principle to establish
corrections to Grad's equations. A consistent derivation of regularized Grad's
equations in the framework the method of invariant manifold is given. A new
class of kinetic models to lift the finite-moment description to a kinetic
theory in the whole space is established. Relations of Grad's approach to
modern mesoscopic integrators such as the entropic
lattice Boltzmann method are also discussed.

The concept of the slow invariant manifold is recognized as the central idea underpinning a transition from micro to macro and model reduction in kinetic theories. We present the constructive methods of invariant manifolds for model reduction in physical and chemical kinetics, developed during last two decades. The physical problem of reduced description is studied in the most general form as a problem of constructing the slow invariant manifold. The invariance conditions are formulated as the differential equation for a manifold immersed in the phase space (the invariance equation). The equation of motion for immersed manifolds is obtained (the film extension of the dynamics). Invariant manifolds are fixed points for this equation, and slow invariant manifolds are Lyapunov stable fixed points, thus slowness is presented as stability.
A collection of methods to derive analytically and to compute numerically the slow invariant manifolds is presented. Among them, iteration methods based on incomplete linearization, relaxation method and the method of invariant grids are developed. The systematic use of thermodynamic structures and of the quasi-chemical representation allows us to construct approximations which are in concordance with physical restrictions.
The following examples of applications are presented: Nonperturbative derivation of physically consistent hydrodynamics from the Boltzmann equation and from the reversible dynamics, for Knudsen numbers Kn~1; construction of the moment equations for nonequilibrium media and their dynamical correction (instead of extension of the list of variables) in order to gain more accuracy in description of highly nonequilibrium flows;а kinetic theory of phonons; model reduction in chemical kinetics; derivation and numerical implementation of constitutive equations for polymeric fluids; the limits of macroscopic description for polymer molecules, cell division kinetics.

A new approach to model hydrodynamics at the level of one-particle distribution
function is presented. The construction is based on the choice of quasi-equilibria pertinent to the physical context of the
problem. Kinetic equations for a single component fluid with a given Prandtl number and models of mixtures with a given Schmidt
number are derived. A novel realization of these models via an auxiliary
kinetic equation is suggested.

A toolbox for the development and reduction of the dynamical models of nonequilibrium systems is presented. The main components of
this toolbox are: Legendre integrators, dynamical post-processing, and the
thermodynamic projector. The thermodynamic projector is the tool to transform
almost any anzatz to a thermodynamically consistent
model. The post-processing is the cheapestway to
improve the solution obtained by the Legendre integrators. Legendre integrators
give the opportunity to solve linear equations instead of nonlinear ones for quasiequilibrium (maximum entropy, MaxEnt)
approximations. The essentially new element of this toolbox, the method of
thermodynamic projector, is demonstrated on application to the FENE-P model of
polymer kinetic theory. The multi-peak model of polymer dynamics is developed.

Three results are presented: First, we solve the problem of persistence of
dissipation for reduction of kinetic models. Kinetic equations with
thermodynamic Lyapunov functions are studied.
Uniqueness of the thermodynamic projector is proven: There exists only one
projector which transforms any vector field equipped with the given Lyapunov function into a vector field with the same Lyapunov function for a given anzatz
manifold which is not tangent to the Lyapunov function levels. Second, we use the thermodynamic
projector for developing the short memory approximation and coarse-graining for
general nonlinear dynamic systems. We prove that in this approximation the
entropy production increases. (The theorem about entropy
overproduction.) In example, we apply the thermodynamic projector to
derive the equations of reduced kinetics for the Fokker-Planck equation. A new
class of closures is developed, the kinetic multipeak
polyhedra. Distributions of this type are expected in
kinetic models with multidimensional instability as universally as the Gaussian
distribution appears for stable systems. The number of possible relatively
stable states of a nonequilibrium system grows as
2^m, and the number of macroscopic parameters is in order mn,
where n is the dimension of configuration space, and m is the number of
independent unstable directions in this space. The elaborated class of closures
and equations pretends to describe the effects of molecular individualism. This
is the third result.

Geometry of irreversibility: The film of nonequilibrium states E-print: http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0308331
A general geometrical framework of nonequilibrium
thermodynamics is developed. The notion of macroscopically definable ensembles
is developed. The thesis about macroscopically definable ensembles is
suggested. This thesis should play the same role in the nonequilibrium
thermodynamics, as the Church-Turing thesis in the theory of computability. The
primitive macroscopically definable ensembles are described. These are
ensembles with macroscopically prepared initial states. The method for
computing trajectories of primitive macroscopically definable nonequilibrium ensembles is elaborated. These trajectories
are represented as sequences of deformed equilibrium ensembles and simple
quadratic models between them. The primitive macroscopically definable
ensembles form the manifold in the space of ensembles. We call this manifold
the film of nonequilibrium states. The equation for
the film and the equation for the ensemble motion on the film are written down.
The notion of the invariant film of non-equilibrium states,
and the method of its approximate construction transform the the problem of nonequilibrium
kinetics into a series of problems of equilibrium statistical physics.
The developed methods allow us to solve the problem of macro-kinetics even when
there are no autonomous equations of macro-kinetics

A recently introduced systematic approach to derivations of the macroscopic dynamics
from the underlying microscopic equations of motions in the short-memory
approximation [Gorban et al, Phys. Rev. E 63 , 066124
(2001)] is presented in detail. The essence of this method is a consistent
implementation of Ehrenfest's idea of coarse-graining,
realized via a matched expansion of both the microscopic and the macroscopic
motions. Applications of this method to a derivation of the nonlinear Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation, diffusion equation and
hydrodynamic equations of the uid with a long-range
mean field interaction are presented in full detail. The advantage of the
method is illustrated by the computation of the post-Navier-Stokes
approximation of the hydrodynamics which is shown to be stable unlike the

Family of additive entropy functions out of thermodynamic limit,

We derive a one-parametric family of entropy functions
that respect the additivity condition, and which
describe effects of finiteness of statistical systems, in particular,
distribution functions with long tails. This one-parametric family is different
from the Tsallis entropies, and is a convex
combination of the Boltzmann- Gibbs-Shannon entropy and the entropy function
proposed by Burg. An example of how longer tails are
described within the present approach is worked out for the canonical ensemble.
We also discuss a possible origin of a hidden statistical dependence, and give
explicit recipes on how to construct corresponding generalizations of the
master equation.

We give a compact non-technical presentation of two
basic principles for reducing the description of nonequilibrium
systems based on the quasi-equilibrium approximation. These two principles are:
construction of invariant manifolds for the dissipative microscopic dynamics,
and coarse-graining for the entropy-conserving microscopic dynamics. Two new
results are presented: first, an application of the invariance principle to
hybridization of micro-macro integration schemes is introduced, and is illustrated
with non-linear dumbbell models; second, Ehrenfest’s
coarse-graining is extended to general quasi-equilibrium approximations, which
gives the simplest way to derive dissipative equations from the Liouville equation in the short memory approximation.

Models of complex reactions in thermodynamically isolated systems often

this class of models, we suggest a direct method to construct such manifolds,
and thereby to reduce the effective dimension of the problem. The approach
realizes the invariance principle of the reduced description, it is based on
iterations rather than on a small parameter expansion, it leads to tractable
linear problems, and is consistent with thermodynamic requirements. The
approach is tested with a model of catalytic reaction.

Schrodinger operator in an overfull set,

Operational simplicity of an expansion of a wave function over a basis in the
Hilbert space is an undisputable advantage for many non-relativistic
quantum-mechanical computations. However, in certain cases, there are several
\natural" bases at one's disposal, and it is not easy to decide which is
preferable. Hence, it sounds attractive to use several bases simultaneously,
and to represent states as expansions over an overfull set obtained by a
junction of their elements. Unfortunately, as is well known, such a
representation is not unique, and lacks many convenient properties of full sets
(e.g., explicit formulae to compute coeffcients of
expansions). Because of this objection, overfull sets are used less frequently
than they, perhaps, deserve.
We introduce a variational principle which eliminates this ambiguity, and results in an expansion which provides “the best" representation to a given Schrodinger operator.

The problem of thermodynamic parameterization of an arbitrary approximation of
reduced description is solved. On the base of this solution a new class of model
kinetic equations is constructed that gives a model extension of the chosen
approximation to a kinetic model. Model equations describe two processes: rapid
relaxation to the chosen approximation along the planes of rapid motions, and
the slow motion caused by the chosen approximation. The H-theorem is proved for
these models. It is shown, that the rapid process always leads to entropy
growth, and also a neighborhood of the approximation
is determined inside which the slow process satisfies the H-theorem. Kinetic
models for Grad moment approximations and for the Tamm-Mott-Smith approximation
are constructed explicitly. In particular, the problem of concordance of the

normal solutions. Firstly, the method provides dynamic equations for any
manifold of distributions where one looks for an approximate solution.
Secondly, it gives a successive procedure of obtaining corrections to these
approximations. The method requires neither small parameters, nor strong
restrictions upon the initial approximation; it involves solutions of linear
problems. It is concordant with the H-theorem at every step. In particular, for
