Linear Boltzmann-like equation, describing non-classical particle transport, and related asymptotic solutions for small mean free paths
نویسنده
چکیده
In classical kinetic or kinetic-like models a particle free path distribution is exponensial, but this is more likely to be an exception than a rule. In this paper we derive a linear Boltzmann-like equation for a general free path distribution in the framework of Alt’s model J. Math. Biol. 9, 147 (1980). In the special case that the free path distribution has at least first and second finite moments we construct an asymptotic solution of the equation for small mean free paths. The asymptotic solution becomes a diffusion approximation to the one-speed Boltzmann-like equation.

Rigorous asymptotic and moment-preserving diffusion approximations for generalized linear Boltzmann transport in arbitrary dimension
We derive new diffusion solutions to the monoenergetic generalized linear Boltzmann transport equation (GLBE) for the stationary collision density and scalar flux about an isotropic point source in an infinite d-dimensional absorbing medium with isotropic scattering. We consider both classical transport theory with exponentiallydistributed free paths in arbitrary dimensions as well as a number ...
متن کاملDiffusion models for spin transport derived from the spinor Boltzmann equation
The aim of this paper is to derive and analyse diffusion models for semiconductor spintronics. We begin by presenting and studying the so called ”spinor” Boltzmann equation. Starting then from a rescaled version of linear Boltzmann equation with different spin-flip and non spin-flip collision operators, different continuum (drift-diffusion) models are derived. By comparing the strength of the s...
متن کاملNon-Abelian linear Boltzmann equation and quantum correction to Kramers and Smoluchowski equation.
A quantum linear Boltzmann equation, constructed in terms of the operator-valued dynamic structure factor of the macroscopic system the test particle is interacting with, is proposed. Due to this operator structure it is a non-Abelian linear Boltzmann equation and when expressed through the Wigner function it allows for a direct comparison with the classical one. Considering a Brownian particle...
متن کاملA nonlinear second order field equation – similarity solutions and relation to a Bellmann-type equation - Applications to Maxwellian Molecules
In this paper Lie’s formalism is applied to deduce classes of solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of second order with quadratic nonlinearity. The equation has the meaning of a field equation appearing in the formulation of kinetic models. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form derived to the first time in terms of reciprocal Jacobian...
متن کاملSoliton-like Solutions of the Complex Non-linear Klein-Gordon Systems in 1 + 1 Dimensions
In this paper, we present soliton-like solutions of the non-linear complex Klein-Gordon systems in 1+1 dimensions. We will use polar representation to introduce three different soliton-like solutions including, complex kinks (anti-kinks), radiative profiles, and localized wave-packets. Complex kinks (anti-kinks) are topological objects with zero electrical charges. Radiative profiles are object...
