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 wavesThis third revised edition features a new section on constants of motion and symmetry and a new appendix on the Lorentz-Legendre expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51823715189024,"sku":"NEW0387955518","price":89.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51VQA3oVJ4L.jpg?v=1781201127","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/kinetic-theory-classical-quantum-and-relativistic-descriptions-graduate-texts-in-contemporary-physics-0387955518","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
