Some moments method of solving the Boltzmann equation

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

An approximate method to obtain time dependent solutions of the Boltzmann equation (BE) is proposed. Here we restrict our consideration to the homogeneous BE only. Approximate evolution equations for mean values are formulated.
