Hydrodynamic limit of a B.G.K. like model on domains with boundaries and analysis of kinetic boundary conditions for scalar multidimensional conservation laws
In this paper we study the hydrodynamic limit of a B.G.K. like kinetic model on domains with boundaries via $BV_{loc}$ theory. We obtain as a consequence existence results for scalar multidimensional conservation laws with kinetic boundary conditions. We require that the initial and boundary data satisfy the optimal assumptions that they all belong to $L^1\cap L^\infty$ with the additional regularity assumptions that the initial data are in $BV_{loc}$. We also extend our hydrodynamic analysis to the case of a generalized kinetic model to account for forces effects and we obtain as a consequence the existence theory for conservation laws with source terms and kinetic boundary conditions.
