1. INTRODUCTION Kinetic equations yield in the limit for small Knudsen and Mach numbers an approximation of different limit equations like the incompressible and compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. This is achieved by introducing a space-time scaling x -+ X/E, t -+ t/~r+~, CYE [0, l] in the kinetic equation together with a resealing of the mean velocity proportional to the Mach number in the incompressible case. See, for example, [l]. Such a scaled kinetic equation can be viewed as a relaxation system for the fluid dynamic equations. We mention here the recent work by Jin and Slemrod [2], in which a relaxation system This work was supported by DFG Grant KL 1105/g. 0893-9659/03/S - see front matter @ 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

that can produce the Euler, Navier-Stokes, as well as the Burnett limit, has been introduced. Relaxation schemes have been used successfully for several of such systems. A large number of kinetic equations with stiff relaxation terms have been considered in fluid dynamic or diffusive limits; see, for example, [3-s]. Moreover, we note that central schemes [6-81 (in nonstaggered version) are closely related to relaxation schemes since both provide Riemann solver free methods. In the present paper, a scheme working uniformly in the compressible and incompressible regime is developed. Nonoscillatory higher-order spatial discretizations and IMEX Runge-Kutta schemes [9] for the time discretization are employed. The nonoscillatory upwind method for the convective part of the relaxation system turns in the limit into higher-order discretizations of the nonlinear convective parts of the fluid dynamic equations. The paper is organized in the following way. A relaxation system is presented in Section 2. Section 3 describes the time and space discretization. Finally, Section 4 contains a numerical investigation of the scheme.
2. A RELAXATION
SYSTEM
Motivated by the considerations in the introduction, we introduce a relaxation system leading to the incompressible and compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in the isothermal case. Density is denoted by p, pressure by p, and flux is given by q = (ql, q2)T = pu, where u = (ul, 2~~)~ is the velocity. r is the relaxation time. Let CYE [0, l] and 1, o=o,

For (Y = 1, we obtain the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as limiting system divq = 0, &q+divq@q+Vp=rAq. The Reynolds number is related to the relaxation time by Re = l/r. For 0 < CY< 1, we obtain the incompressible Euler equations divq = 0,

METHOD
For the spatial discretization of the relaxation system, we use the following discretization for the nonstiff advection parts on the left-hand side in (1) and (8), second- and third-order upwind discretizations are used based on MUSCL or EN0 approaches. For a second-order method, we follow the approach in [3]. To obtain a third-order method, we use for the reconstruction step the third-order interpolant from [6]. The stiff parts in (1) and (8) are treated by higher-order centered differences, as in [4,10]; i.e., we use second- and fourth-order centered differences. For the time discretization, a semi-implicit method is used. The nonstiff parts are treated explicitly and the stiff ones implicitly. Second- and third-order methods based on Runge-Kutta IMEX schemes are used to achieve the asymptotic preserving property and to keep the accuracy in the stiff limit.
