Abstract

We compute, using matched asymptotic expansions, the long-time asymptotics of homoenergetic solutions to the nonlinear Boltzmann equation, in presence of a shear term, in the hyperbolic dominated regime, for homogeneous collision kernels for which there are infinitely many collisions as τ\tau \to \infty. The mass of the resulting solutions is concentrated in an increasing family of dyadic scales, something that makes the behaviour of these solutions very different from classical Maxwellian distributions.
