Collision Integral: A component within kinetic equations that quantifies the net effect of inter-particle collisions on the distribution function over time.

A new quasi-Monte Carlo method for solving the Boltzmann equation in a simplified case is described. The analysis is restricted to a spatially homogeneous and isotropic gas; in addition, the molecular ...

The Molecular Distribution Functions, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 188, No. 1012 (Dec. 31, 1946), pp. 10-18 ...

It has taken 140 years, but only now do we have mathematical proof that a seminal equation describing the behaviour of gases is correct. Robert Strain and Philip Gressman at the University of ...

The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution describes the probability distribution of molecular speeds in a sample of an ideal gas. Introduced over 150 years ago, it is based on the work of Scottish ...
