Abstract

We present various methods used to solve numerically the Boltzmann transport equation. The moments methods (drift diffusion, hydrodynamic model, energy transport) are first considered. Particle-based methods (Monte Carlo, cellular automata, scattering matrices, and weighted particles method) are then discussed and we conclude with an overview of direct methods of solution.
