The Non-Uniform State for a Simple Gas

Part of the Fluid Mechanics and Its Applications book series (FMIA, volume 83)

Abstract

Consider the unsteady, non-uniform state of an infinite gas. For this general case, the Boltzmann equation has the form [1]:
$$ Df = - J(ff_1 ), $$
(4-1)
, where: \( Df = \frac{{\partial f}} {{\partial t}} + v \cdot \frac{{\partial f}} {{\partial \tilde r}} + F \cdot \frac{{\partial f}} {{\partial v}}, \), and: \( J\left( {ff_1 } \right) = \iiint {\left( {ff_1 - f'f'_1 } \right)}gbdbd\varepsilon dv_1 . \)
