Unified Non-Local Theory of Transport Processes: Generalized Boltzmann Physical Kinetics

by Boris V. Alexeev

Overview

Unified Non-Local Theory of Transport Processess, 2nd Edition provides a new theory of transport processes in gases, plasmas and liquids. It is shown that the well-known Boltzmann equation, which is the basis of the classical kinetic theory, is incorrect in the definite sense. Additional terms need to be added leading to a dramatic change in transport theory. The result is a strict theory of turbulence and the possibility to calculate turbulent flows from the first principles of physics. - Fully revised and expanded edition, providing applications in quantum non-local hydrodynamics, quantum solitons in solid matter, and plasmas - Uses generalized Boltzmann kinetic theory as an highly effective tool for solving many physical problems beyond classical physics - Addresses dark matter and energy - Presents non-local physics in many related problems of hydrodynamics, gravity, black holes, nonlinear optics, and applied mathematics

Fully revised and expanded comprehensive monograph providing the unified theory of transport processes from atom structures to the evolution of the universe.

Editorial Reviews

"...contains a lot of illustrations and calculations supplied with the detailed discussions of the used approximations, their precision, parameters, etc. It is especially important within the first part of the book, where the method is introduced since these items allow for studying of the topic by newcomers." —Zentralblatt MATH
