Beskrivelse

Kinetic Theory: Classical, Quantum, and Relativistic Descriptions goes beyond the scope of other works in the field with its thorough treatment of applications in a wide variety of disciplines. Its clear exposition and emphasis on concrete examples will make it not only an excellent graduate text but also a valuable resource for researchers in such disciplines as aerospace, mechanical, and chemical engineering; astrophysics, solid state and laser physics and devices, plasma physics, and controlled and thermonuclear fusion.

Among the topics covered are:

- The Liouville equation and analyses of the Liouville equation, including two independent derivations

- The Boltzmann equation and Boltzmann's H-theorem

- Analysis of the linearized collision operator

- Fluid dynamics and irreversibility

- Assorted kinetic equations with applications to plasmas and neutral fluids

- Elements of quantum kinetic theory, including the Green's-function formalism and the Wigner-Moyal equation

- Relativistic kinetic theory and Lorentz invariants

- Kinetic properties of metals and amorphous media

- Monte-Carlo analysis in kinetic theory

- Kinetic study of shock waves

This third revised edition features a new section on constants of motion and symmetry and a new appendix on the Lorentz-Legendre expansion.
