The Attempt at a Solution



since the deviation from f_0 to f is linear
then we can write f=f_0 + C where C is some constant
this should be enough to prove the first question (i think so)
for the second part i used the ideal gas equation to drive the partial derivatives with respect to time for density, velocity and temperature
but i couldn't able to get the answer[/B]

  • Typeset page of text and equations: the approximate Boltzmann equation with relaxation time tau, the chain-rule expansion of the time derivative of f0 in terms of rho, v and T, and the reduced velocity W and tensor b definitions.
