Abstract

This paper establishes a theoretical foundation for the Consistent Boltzmann Algorithm by deriving the limiting kinetic equation. Besides its relation to the algorithm, this new equation serves as a useful alternative to the Enskog equation in the kinetic theory of dense gases. For a simplified model, the limiting equation is solved numerically, and very good agreement with the predictions of the theory is found.
