商品簡介
Reviews the continuous, discrete, and semicontinuous Boltzmann equations for modeling the kinetic theory of gases, and reports new developments, mathematical problems, and applications in the field. The ten contributions explore the thermodynamical properties of discretized models, semicontinuous extended kinetic theory, steady kinetic boundary value problems, discrete velocity models in quantum kinetic theory, and asymptotic convergence to the continuous equation when the number of velocities tends to infinity.
