The dissipative linear Boltzmann equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce and discuss a linear Boltzmann equation describing dissipative interactions of a gas of test particles with a fixed background. For a pseudo-Maxwellian collision kernel, it is shown that, if the initial distribution has finite temperature, the solution converges exponentially for large–time to a Maxwellian profile drifting at the same velocity as field particles and with a universal non–zero temperature which is lower than the given background temperature.

Integral Representation of the Linear Boltzmann Operator for Granular Gas Dynamics with Applications
We investigate the properties of the collision operator Q associated to the linear Boltzmann equation for dissipative hard-spheres arising in granular gas dynamics. We establish that, as in the case of non–dissipative interactions, the gain collision operator is an integral operator whose kernel is made explicit. One deduces from this result a complete picture of the spectrum of Q in an Hilbert...
متن کاملThe dissipative linear Boltzmann equation for hard spheres
We prove the existence and uniqueness of an equilibrium state with unit mass to the dissipative linear Boltzmann equation with hard–spheres collision kernel describing inelastic interactions of a gas particles with a fixed background. The equilibrium state is a universal Maxwellian distribution function with the same velocity as field particles and with a non–zero temperature lower than the bac...
متن کاملDissipative hydrodynamic models for the diffusion of impurities in a gas
Recently linear dissipative models of the Boltzmann equation have been introduced in [7, 5]. In this work, we consider the problem of constructing suitable hydrodynamic approximations for such models.
متن کاملUpper Maxwellian Bounds for the Spatially Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation
For the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with cutoff hard potentials it is shown that solutions remain bounded from above, uniformly in time, by a Maxwellian distribution, provided the initial data have a Maxwellian upper bound. The main technique is based on a comparison principle that uses a certain dissipative property of the linear Boltzmann equation. Implications of the technique t...
متن کاملHilbert’s 6th Problem: Exact and Approximate Hydrodynamic Manifolds for Kinetic Equations
The problem of the derivation of hydrodynamics from the Boltzmann equation and related dissipative systems is formulated as the problem of a slow invariant manifold in the space of distributions. We review a few instances where such hydrodynamic manifolds were found analytically both as the result of summation of the Chapman–Enskog asymptotic expansion and by the direct solution of the invarian...
