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