The jump-length probability distribution (JLPD) in a periodic system is studied using the solution of the linearized Boltzmann equation with BGK collision kernel. The equation is solved both by the matrix-continued-fraction method and by direct numerical simulations. The JLPDs obtained by the BGK equation are compared to those derived from other kinetic models, such as the Langevin (Fokker-Planck) model.

Abstract

The jump-length probability distribution (JLPD) in a periodic system is studied using the solution of the linearized Boltzmann equation with BGK collision kernel. The equation is solved both by the matrix-continued-fraction method and by direct numerical simulations. The JLPDs obtained by the BGK equation are compared to those derived from other kinetic models, such as the Langevin (Fokker-Planck) model.
