Abstract

Matrix kinetic equation method to derive a set of hydrodynamic equations for a superfluid Fermi system is developed and applied to 3He-A. The results are compared with phenomenological theories. The unknown parameters in the phenomenological theories are evaluated rigorously near the transition temperature. Some points which differ from phenomenological theories are discussed.
