In this paper, we present the hydrodynamic limit of a multiscale system describing
the dynamics of two populations of agents with alignment interactions and the
effect of an internal variable. It consists of a kinetic equation coupled with an Euler-type
equation inspired by the thermomechanical Cucker–Smale (TCS) model. We propose a
novel drag force for the fluid-particle interaction reminiscent of Stokes’ law. Whilst the
macroscopic species is regarded as a self-organized background fluid that affects the kinetic
species, the latter is assumed sparse and does not affect the macroscopic dynamics.
We propose two hyperbolic scalings, in terms of a strong and weak relaxation regime of
the internal variable towards the background population. Under each regime, we prove
the rigorous hydrodynamic limit towards a coupled system composed of two Euler-type
equations. Inertial effects of momentum and internal variable in the kinetic species disappear
for strong relaxation, whereas a nontrivial dynamics for the internal variable appears
for weak relaxation. Our analysis covers both the case of Lipschitz and weakly singular
influence functions.
