INCLUSION OF FLOW TERMS IN THE CARTESIAN TENSOR EXPANSION OF THE BOLTZMANN EQUATION
Journal Article
·
· Canadian Journal of Physics (Canada)
The Cartesian tensor expansion of Boltzmann's equation is extended to include terms denoting gradients in flow velocity. The expansion is performed in intrinsic velocity space. The gradient velocity terms yield a linear contribution to the tensor (f/sub 2/) paat of the andgie-integrated distribution function from which the zero-trace pressure tensor is calculable. It is shown that the standard moment equations are obtained by further integration over the magnitude of velocity. For the case of a completely ionized gas, collisional terms are inserted appropriately. (auth)
