The Cauchy problem for the Diffusive-Vlasov-Enskog equations

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

In order to better describe dense gases, a smooth attractive tail arising from a Coulomb-type potential is added to the hard core repulsion of the Enskog equation, along with a velocity diffusion. By choosing the diffusing term of Fokker-Planck type with or without dynamical friction forces. The Cauchy problem for the Diffusive-Vlasov-Poisson-Enskog equation (DVE) and the Cauchy problem for the Fokker-Planck-Vlasov-Poisson-Enskog equation (FPVE) are addressed.
