Homoenergetic solutions for the Rayleigh-Boltzmann equation: existence of a stationary non-equilibrium solution
摘要
In this paper we consider a particular class of solutions of the linear Boltzmann-Rayleigh equation, known in the nonlinear setting as homoenergetic solutions. These solutions describe the dynamics of Boltzmann gases under the effect of different mechanical deformations. Therefore, the long-time behaviour of these solutions cannot be described by Maxwellian distributions and it strongly depends on the homogeneity of the collision kernel of the equation.
Here we focus on the paradigmatic case of simple shear deformations and in the case of cut-off collision kernels with homogeneity
