Abstract
Discrete techniques (MD or BD), despite their conceptual simplicity, are very often too expensive from the computational point of view. Kinetic theory approaches seem, in many cases, a suitable compromise between the accuracy of finer descriptions and the computational efficiency of macroscopic descriptions. In this chapter, we revisit some kinetic theory models. Even if there is a common rationale for deriving the different models, in order to emphasize their physical contents, we will follow a diversity of alternative routes to derive them.
