Mean-field Model beyond Boltzmann-Enskog Picture for Dense Gases

Abstract

I propose an extension to Boltzmann BGK equation for Hard Spheres. The present model has an HH-theorem and it allows choice of Prandtl number as an independent parameter. I show that similar to Enskog equation this equation can reproduce dynamics of hard spheres in dense systems.
