Abstract
The dynamics of an interacting Fermi gas of atoms at sufficiently high temperatures can be efficiently studied via a numerical simulation of the Boltzmann equation. In this work we describe in detail the setup we used recently to study the oscillations of two spin-polarised fermionic clouds in a trap. We focus here on the evaluation of interparticle interactions. We compare different ways of choosing the phase space coordinates of a pair of atoms after a successful collision and demonstrate that the exact microscopic setup has no influence on the macroscopic outcome.
