Transport equations for suspensions of inelastic particles
We consider a system consisting of n Brownian particles of arbitrary shape, with internal degrees of freedom, in a both of N spherical bath particles. We obtain a generalized Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution function, W(Qn,Pn,t), where Qn and Pn denote the generalized coordinates and momenta of the Brownian particles. The effects of the Brownian particle motion on the bath are described and a Smoluchowski equation for the distribution function, R(Qn,t), has been derived.
