Self-similar profiles for homoenergetic solutions of the Boltzmann equation: particle velocity distribution and entropy

Richard D. James, Alessia Nota, Juan J. L. Velázquez

In this paper we study a class of solutions of the Boltzmann equation which have the form $f\left(x,v,t\right)=g\left(v-L\left(t\right)x,t\right)$ where $L\left( t\right) =A\…
