New class "Introduction to Kinetic Theory of Gases"
Starting this winter semester, the NTFD chair offers the class "Introduction to Kinetic Theory of Gases" with 5 ECTS points. In contrast to the macroscopic point of view, which considers gases as a continuum, a molecule-based methodology is applied here. Starting from a simplified description, the connection between thermodynamic quantities such as the temperature with the movement of molecules is established. Further contents of the class are: general distribution functions, the Maxwell distribution for equilibrium, the Boltzmann equation and the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations from the Boltzmann equation, the latter connecting the microscopic and the macroscopic approaches. Finally, an introduction to Lattice-Boltzmann methods is given.
