On exact solutions to a discrete-velocity model of the extended kinetic equations

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The discrete-velocity models of the extended kinetic equations are analysed for the case of a gas of test particles scattering between themselves and absorbed or generated by a background medium. Exact analytical solutions to the set of hyperbolic semilinear first-order PDE governing the components of the particle distribution function are investigated. Particular solutions of different type satisfying special initial conditions are determined or discussed.
