boltzmann transport equation
The Boltzmann transport equation is a mathematical equation used in the field of statistical physics to describe the transport of particles, such as electrons, photons, or molecules, through a medium. It takes into account various factors like collisions, scattering, and the behavior of the particles, allowing for the analysis and prediction of their movement and distribution in the medium.
