This book delves into a highly specialized numerical approach to the Boltzmann equationâ"a complex equation that describes the behavior of gas particles in a particular environment. Developed in the context of gas dynamics, it is a highly mathematical text that applies a specific iterative method to solve the Boltzmann equation, known as the full non-linear Boltzmann equation. This numerical method is applied to the study of a shock wave in a gas composed of elastic spheres. The method used is rooted in Gaussian quadrature and Hermite interpolation, which are extensively discussed. The author presents the method as a step-by-step computational procedure. After introducing the fundamental problem, the author discusses the details of the numerical approach using concrete examples, before generalizing the method to problems in multiple dimensions with other types of interparticle forces. The work provides a solid entry point for researchers interested in Boltzmann's equation, with important implications in fluid mechanics, plasma physics, chemical kinetics, astrophysics, and other disciplines concerned with the behavior of gases. Overall, this book offers valuable insights and techniques for understanding the Boltzmann equation and its applications, making it a significant addition to the body of knowledge for researchers in the field.
