The maximum entropy moment system extends the Euler equation to nonequilibrium gas flows by considering higher order moments such as the heat flux. This paper presents a systematic study of the maximum entropy moment system of Boltzmann equation. We consider a hypothetical one-dimensional gas and study a five-moment model. A numerical algorithm for solving the optimization problem is developed to produce the maximum entropy distribution function from known moments, and the asymptotic behaviour of the system around the singular region known as the Junk’s line, as well as that near the boundary of the realizability domain is analyzed. Furthermore, we study the properties of the system numerically, including the behaviour of the system around the Maxwellian and within the interior of the realizability domain, and properties of its characteristic fields. Our studies show the higher order entropy-based moment models to differ significantly from the Euler equations. Much of this difference comes from the singularity near the Junk’s line, which would be removed if a truncation of the velocity domain is employed.
