講演題目: |
Hydrodynamics from the Boltzmann Equation |
講演要旨: |
The endeavor to understand how fluid dynamical equations can be derived from kinetic theory goes back to the founding works of Maxwell and Boltzmann. Most of these derivations have been well understood at several formal levels for some time, and yet their full mathematical justifications are still missing. This talk will introduce this general problem and survey recent works in which the acoustic, the incompressible Stokes, and the incompressible Navier-Stokes limits have been globally establish for the classical Boltzmann equation considered over periodic spatial domains of dimension two or more. |
