%X This report discusses a new approach to the resolution of the fluid dynamic limit for the Broadwell system modeling gas dynamics. The main idea is to replace the Knudsen number ¦Å in the Broadwell model by ¦Åt , t the time variable to obtain self similar solutions in ¦Î=x/ t and then let ¦Å ¡ú 0+. The limit thus obtained is a solution of the Riemann problem for the fluid dynamic limit equations.
