Journal ArticleDOI
A Gaussian quadrature procedure for use in the solution of the Boltzmann equation and related problems
TL;DR: In this article, a new Gaussian quadrature procedure was developed for integrals of the form ∫ 0 ∞ e − y 2 y p ( y ) dy for p = 0, 1 and 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonthermal escape of the atmospheres of Venus, Earth, and Mars
TL;DR: A review of the current state of our understanding of atmospheric loss from the terrestrial planets can be found in this article, where a detailed discussion is provided of the basic concepts required to understand the processes occurring in the high-altitude portion of a planetary atmosphere referred to as the exosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonequilibrium Contributions to the Rate of Reaction. I. Perturbation of the Velocity Distribution Function
Bernie D. Shizgal,Martin Karplus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method of solution of the Chapman-Enskog equation with a Sonine polynomial expansion is described that is not limited by the number of terms retained and is applicable to realistic systems characterized by elastic and reactive cross sections which may be available only in tabulated form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern exospheric theories and their observational relevance
Hans J. Fahr,Bernie D. Shizgal +1 more
TL;DR: A review and critique of present-day kinetic theory models of planetary exospheres is presented in this article, where the authors point out the need for a rigorous kinetic theory treatment of the atmosphere in the altitude region between the thermosphere and the exosphere.
