Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Recently, the kinetic equation for two-particle distribution function under the Boltzmann approximations was proposed. Presenting scattering operator in divergence form enables to simulate the system of molecules by an equivalent system of quasiparticles. Effect of collisions is accounted by rotating quasiparticle pairs with the angular velocity that depends on the distribution function. In the paper we present new expressions for angular velocity of quasiparticle pair rotation, which are convenient for numerical calculations. We perform test simulations in the differential approximation for scattering operator. The approach expected to be useful in the range between continuum gas dynamics and Boltzmann equation descriptions.
