Vlasov equation [′vla·sȯf i‚kwā·zhən] (plasma physics) A modification of the Boltzmann transport equation for the study of a plasma, in which particles interact only through the mutually induced space-charge field, and collisions are assumed to be negligible. Also known as collisionless Boltzmann equation. How to thank TFD for its existence?

More than a decade ago, researchers were surprised to learn that using the Boltzmann equation to calculate simple fluid flows didn't make the simulations more difficult or time consuming to carry out. First, the importance function is unknown; the Schrodinger equation doesn't let you calculate the interaction potential as easily as the Boltzmann equation does. |
