Some problems in the kinetic theory of gases with internal degrees of freedom
Abstract
The problem of the internal degrees of freedom and possible approaches to its solution are reviewed. In particular, attention is given to the adequate mathematical description of medium hydrodynamics in terms of the kinetic theory of gases and methods for solving kinetic equations with a small parameter. The discussion also covers the problems of relaxation approximation and intermode exchange.
