Kinetic theory :
Liboff, Richard L., 1931-2014.
Kinetic theory : classical, quantum, and relativistic descriptions / Richard L. Liboff. - 3rd ed. - New York : Springer, c2003. - xx, 571 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. - Graduate texts in contemporary physics .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The Liouville Equation --
Analyses of the Liouville Equation --
The Boltzmann Equation, Fluid Dynamics, and Irreversibility --
Assorted Kinetic Equations with Applications to Plasmas and Neutral Fluids --
Elements of Quantum Kinetic Theory --
Relativistic Kinetic Theory --
Kinetic Properties of Metals and Amorphous Media.
Kinetic Theory: Classical, Quantum, and Relativistic Descriptions goes beyond the scope of other works in the field with its thorough treatment of applications in a wide variety of disciplines. Its clear exposition and emphasis on concrete examples will make it not only an excellent graduate text but also a valuable resource for researchers in such disciplines as aerospace, mechanical, and chemical engineering; astrophysics, solid state and laser physics and devices, plasma physics, and controlled and thermonuclear fusion. Among the topics covered are: - The Liouville equation and analyses of the Liouville equation, including two independent derivations - The Boltzmann equation and Boltzmann's H-theorem - Analysis of the linearized collision operator - Fluid dynamics and irreversibility - Assorted kinetic equations with applications to plasmas and neutral fluids - Elements of quantum kinetic theory, including the Green's-function formalism and the Wigner-Moyal equation - Relativistic kinetic theory and Lorentz invariants - Kinetic properties of metals and amorphous media - Monte-Carlo analysis in kinetic theory - Kinetic study of shock waves This third revised edition features a new section on constants of motion and symmetry and a new appendix on the Lorentz-Legendre expansion.
