The reduced speed of sound technique (RSST) has been used for efficient simulation of low Mach number flows in solar and stellar convection zones. The basic RSST equations are hyperbolic, and are suitable for parallel computation by domain decomposition. The application of RSST is limited to cases where density perturbations are much smaller than the background density. In addition, non-conservative variables are required to be evolved using this method, which is not suitable in cases where discontinuities like shock waves co-exist in a single numerical domain. In this study, we suggest a new semi-conservative formulation of the RSST that can be applied to low Mach number flows with large density variations. We derive the wave speed of the original and newly suggested methods to clarify that these methods can reduce the speed of sound without affecting the entropy wave. The equations are implemented using the finite volume method. Several numerical tests are carried out to verify the suggested methods. The analysis and numerical results show that the original RSST is not applicable when mass density variations are large. In contrast, the newly suggested methods are found to be efficient in such cases. We also suggest variants of the RSST that conserve momentum in the machine precision. The newly suggested variants are formulated as semi-conservative equations, which reduce to the conservative form of the Euler equations when the speed of sound is not reduced. This property is advantageous when both high and low Mach number regions are included in the numerical domain. The newly suggested forms of RSST can be applied to a wider range of low Mach number flows.
We introduce a numerical solver for the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation using the Burnett spectral method. The modelling and discretization of the collision operator are based on the previous work [Z. Cai, Y. Fan, and Y. Wang, Burnett spec
