  2. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The general equation can then be written as [6] = + + (),. where the "force" term corresponds to the forces exerted on the particles by an external influence (not by the particles themselves), the "diff" term represents the diffusion of particles, and "coll" is the collision term – accounting for the forces acting between particles in collisions.

  3. Boltzmann's entropy formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann's_entropy_formula

    Boltzmann's equation—carved on his gravestone. [1]In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann's equation (also known as the Boltzmann–Planck equation) is a probability equation relating the entropy, also written as , of an ideal gas to the multiplicity (commonly denoted as or ), the number of real microstates corresponding to the gas's macrostate:

  4. Boltzmann machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_machine

    In this example there are 3 hidden units (blue) and 4 visible units (white). This is not a restricted Boltzmann machine. A Boltzmann machine, like a Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model, is a network of units with a total "energy" (Hamiltonian) defined for the overall network. Its units produce binary results. Boltzmann machine weights are stochastic.

  5. H-theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-theorem

    The kinetic equation and in particular Boltzmann's molecular chaos assumption inspired a whole family of Boltzmann equations that are still used today to model the motions of particles, such as the electrons in a semiconductor. In many cases the molecular chaos assumption is highly accurate, and the ability to discard complex correlations ...

  6. Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann_statistics

    Boltzmann's equation = ⁡ is the realization that the entropy is proportional to ⁡ with the constant of proportionality being the Boltzmann constant. Using the ideal gas equation of state ( PV = NkT ), It follows immediately that β = 1 / k T {\displaystyle \beta =1/kT} and α = − μ / k T {\displaystyle \alpha =-\mu /kT} so that the ...

    Modern 3 Tesla clinical MRI scanner.. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique mostly used in radiology and nuclear medicine in order to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the body, and to detect pathologies including tumors, inflammation, neurological conditions such as stroke, disorders of muscles and joints, and abnormalities in the heart and blood vessels ...

  8. Lattice Boltzmann methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_Boltzmann_methods

    A different interpretation of the lattice Boltzmann equation is that of a discrete-velocity Boltzmann equation. The numerical methods of solution of the system of partial differential equations then give rise to a discrete map, which can be interpreted as the propagation and collision of fictitious particles.

  9. Direct simulation Monte Carlo - Wikipedia

    [4] [5] In these rarefied flows, the Navier-Stokes equations can be inaccurate. The DSMC method has been extended to model continuum flows (Kn < 1) and the results can be compared with Navier Stokes solutions. The DSMC method models fluid flows using probabilistic simulation molecules to solve the Boltzmann equation. Molecules are moved through ...
