Maxwell distributions in a model of rough spheres

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We consider the Boltzmann equation for the model of rough spherical molecules with both translational and rotational energies. The general form of local Maxwellian distributions for this model is obtained. The main possible types of the corresponding gas flows are selected and analyzed.
