The Boltzmann equation evolves a phase-space distribution by balancing free streaming, external forces, and collisions.
The Boltzmann equation is a fundamental equation in statistical mechanics and kinetic theory that describes the statistical distribution of particles in a gas. It provides a framework for understanding how the microscopic properties of individual particles lead to macroscopic phenomena, such as temperature and pressure.
