About viscous approximations of the bitemperature Euler system

This paper is devoted to the study of the construction of a viscous approximation of the nonconservative bitemperature Euler system. Starting from a BGK model coupled with Ampère and Poisson equations proposed in [D.Aregba, J. Breil, S. Brull, B. Dubroca, and E. Estibals, Math. Models Numer. Anal., 52(4):1353–1383, 2018], we perform a Chapman–Enskog expansion up to order $1$ leading to a Navier-Stokes system. Next, we prove that this system is compatible with the entropy of the bitemperature Euler system.
