Abstract

An evolution equation and transport coefficient expressing the short time development of swarms were derived from the space-time dependent Boltzmann equation by introducing the “projection operator” which acts on the velocity distribution function. The evolution equation of the density \( n(\vec r,t) \) \( f(\vec r,\vec v,t = 0) = f0(\vec v)*n(\vec r,t = 0) \) can be generally written as follows: \( \partial _t n(r.t) = \hfill \\ \sum\limits_{k = 1} {\int\limits_o^t {at\Omega ^k } } (t - z)0( - \nabla _r )^k n(r.z) + \sum\limits_{k = 1} {w_o^k } (t)\Theta ( - \nabla _r )^k n(r.t = 0) \hfill \\ \)
