Exact linear hydrodynamics from the Boltzmann equation

Statistical Mechanics 2008-06-03 v1

Abstract

Exact (to all orders in Knudsen number) equations of linear hydrodynamics are derived from the Boltzmann kinetic equation with the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collision integral. The exact hydrodynamic equations are cast in a form which allows us to immediately prove their hyperbolicity, stability, and existence of an H-theorem.
