abstract = {This thesis presents models for polyatomic gases at both
mesoscopic and macroscopic levels. At the mesoscopic level,
the Boltzmann equation with a polyatomic collision operator
is used, and new collision kernels are proposed allowing
flexibility to match specific gas properties. At the
macroscopic level, moment equations – specifically the 14-
and 17-moment systems – are used to model flows in the
transition regime. The collision operator is evaluated to
obtain transport coefficients, and a data-driven approach is
used to fit model parameters to reproduce experimental
values for viscosity, bulk-to-shear viscosity ratio, and the
Prandtl number. To validate the models, numerical
simulations of heat conduction in polyatomic gases are
performed using a finite element method within the FEniCS
framework. Regularized version of the 17-moment system with
entropy-stable boundary conditions is developed, and its
linear, steady-state form is implemented. The simulations
demonstrate mesh convergence and reveal that, for small
Knudsen numbers, non-equilibrium temperatures converge,
consistent with previous results for polyatomic gases. The
impact of bulk viscosity is also examined, showing that it
primarily affects the dynamical pressure, while the total
temperature profile remains stable.},
