Boltzmann equation

Equation

>Top, >Model


The Boltzmann function describes the transport of a particle system described by the velocity distribution function:

$\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}+v_i\displaystyle\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}=C(f)$

Where the term C describes the interaction (collisions) between them.

Density

Equation

>Top, >Model


If the parameters are calculated by averaging over the speed using

$ \chi_k(\vec{x},t) =\displaystyle\frac{1}{c(\vec{x},t)}\displaystyle\int d\vec{v} f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t) \chi_k(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)$



the mass density estimation is obtained by:

$\rho(\vec{x},t) = m\displaystyle\int f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)d\vec{v}$

Speed of the Flow

Equation

>Top, >Model


If the parameters are calculated by averaging over the speed using

$ \chi_k(\vec{x},t) =\displaystyle\frac{1}{c(\vec{x},t)}\displaystyle\int d\vec{v} f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t) \chi_k(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)$



the velocity of the flow is calculated by integrating the velocity distribution function on all velocities by weighing the velocities:

$\vec{u}(\vec{x},t) = \displaystyle\frac{m}{\rho}\int \vec{v}f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)d\vec{v}$

Temperature

Equation

>Top, >Model


If the parameters are calculated by averaging over the speed using

$ \chi_k(\vec{x},t) =\displaystyle\frac{1}{c(\vec{x},t)}\displaystyle\int d\vec{v} f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t) \chi_k(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)$



and the equipartition theorem is considered, the temperature can be estimated by integrating the kinetic energy weighted by the velocity distribution divided by the gas constant:

$T(\vec{x},t) = \displaystyle\frac{m}{3R\rho}\displaystyle\int (\vec{v}\cdot\vec{v})f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)d\vec{v}$

Tension tensor

Equation

>Top, >Model


If the parameters are calculated by averaging over the speed using

$ \chi_k(\vec{x},t) =\displaystyle\frac{1}{c(\vec{x},t)}\displaystyle\int d\vec{v} f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t) \chi_k(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)$



the flow tensor is calculated by integrating the velocity distribution function on all velocities by weighing the velocity differences:

$\sigma_{ij} = m\displaystyle\int (v_i-u_i)(v_j-u_j)f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)d\vec{v}$
