Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the behavior of a rarefied gas using the Boltzmann equation. The author surveys various singular (or extreme) limits of solutions to this equation, which together describe most of the qualitative and quantitative properties of such a gas. The author examines large and small mean-free paths, boundary and initial layers, and the influence of instabilities on the propagation of correlations by non-chaotic Boltzmann equations. The author concludes that the Boltzmann equation, when examined across various singular limits, provides a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of a rarefied gas. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in kinetic theory and for those interested in the Boltzmann equation and its applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
