Popis: The present paper concerns two aspects for the Burnett equations. First, we are going to theoretically show the consistency between the traditional Chapman-Enskog expansion and the successive approximation for the BGK equation up to the super-Burnett order. Second, we will design a numerical scheme to efficiently solve the Burnett equations. The current approach is an improvement of the BGK-Burnett scheme [K. Xu. Phys. Fluids 15 (2003) 2077], where the locally constant collision frequency is considered. Based on the Burnett distribution function, a high order time accurate numerical flux is derived by different approaches. The resulting scheme is tested in the problem of normal shock wave and that of force-driven Poiseuille flow.
