Abstract

We consider a non reactive multi component gas mixture.We pro- pose a class of models, which can be easily generalized to multiple species. The two species mixture is modelled by a system of kinetic BGK equations featuring two interaction terms to account for momentum and energy transfer between the species.We prove consistency of our model: conservation proper- ties, positivity of the solutions for the space homogeneous case, positivity of all temperatures, H-theorem and convergence to a global equilibrium in the space homogeneous case in the form of a global Maxwell distribution. Thus, we are able to derive the usual macroscopic conservation laws. In particular, by considering a mixture composed of ions and electrons, we derive the macroscopic equations of ideal MHD from our model.
