Kinetic Transport in the Two-dimensional Periodic Lorentz Gas
Abstract. The periodic Lorentz gas describes an ensemble of non-interacting point particles in a periodic array of spherical scatterers. We have recently shown that, in the limit of small scatterer density (Boltzmann-Grad limit), the macroscopic dynamics converges to a stochastic process, whose kinetic transport equation is not the linear Boltzmann equation—in contrast to the Lorentz gas with a...
متن کاملOn the Periodic Lorentz Gas and the Lorentz Kinetic Equation
We prove that the Boltzmann-Grad limit of the Lorentz gas with periodic distribution of scatterers cannot be described with a linear Boltzmann equation. This is at variance with the case of a Poisson distribution of scatterers, for which the convergence to the linear Boltzmann equation was proved by Gallavotti [Phys. Rev. (2) 185, 308 (1969)]. The arguments presented here complete the analysis ...
متن کاملCrisis in the periodic Lorentz gas.
The attractor of the nonequilibrium Lorentz gas covers the whole of the accessible phase space at small values of the field. Here we investigate the transition from this state to a state with fractal support, corresponding to a discontinuity in the box dimension as a function of field. A number of numerical techniques are employed, the most effective involving symbolic dynamics. It is found tha...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Two-Dimensional Periodic Lorentz Gas with Infinite Horizon
We study the asymptotic statistical behavior of the 2-dimensional periodic Lorentz gas with an infinite horizon. We consider a particle moving freely in the plane with elastic reflections from a periodic set of fixed convex scatterers. We assume that the initial position of the particle in the phase space is random with uniform distribution with respect to the Liouville measure of the periodic ...
متن کاملRecent Results on the Periodic Lorentz Gas
The Drude-Lorentz model for the motion of electrons in a solid is a classical model in statistical mechanics, where electrons are represented as point particles bouncing on a fixed system of obstacles (the atoms in the solid). Under some appropriate scaling assumption — known as the Boltzmann-Grad scaling by analogy with the kinetic theory of rarefied gases — this system can be described in som...
