In this article, the Fourier-Laplace transformed kinetic equation is applied numerically to the study of the relaxation to equilibrium of a system of hard spheres, and the time dependence of the first few momentum moments is computed using a numerical Laplace transform inversion procedure.Abstract:
The solution to a Fourier–Laplace transformed kinetic equation is applied numerically to the study of the relaxation to equilibrium of a system of hard spheres. Two different initial distribution functions are considered, and their evolution is studied by computing the time dependence of the first few momentum moments, using a numerical Laplace transform inversion procedure. Physically meaningful results are obtained in for densities less than about 15% of closest packing, where a fast induction period and a slower exponential relaxation are found.read more

Evolution of Reduced Distribution Functions. III. General Truncation and Solution of the Linearized Classical BBGYK Hierarchy
TL;DR: In this article, a linearized version of the BBGYK hierarchy applicable to simple fluid systems near equilibrium is derived, where a sequence of successive extended dynamical superposition approximations is defined to truncate the hierarchy at any arbitrary level.
