On the Adiabatic Piston Problem

Simulations and H-theorem for a Fokker-Planck type equation

In this thesis, Boltzmann's H-theorem is studied and applied to prove a general convergence to equilibrium for the adiabatic piston paradox, governed by a specially-derived kinetic Fokker-Planck equation. We review general results in kinetic theory on the Boltzmann collision oper ...
