Phase transition in the Boltzmann-Vlasov equation
- Abstract:
-
In this paper we revisit the problem of explaining phase transition by a study of a form of the Boltzmann equation, where inter-molecular attraction is included by means of a Vlasov term in the evolution equation for the one particle distribution function. We are able to show that for typical gas densities, a uniform state is unstable if the inter-molecular attraction is large enough. Our analysis relies strongly on the assumption, essential to the derivation of the Boltzmann equation,that ν ...
