Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon hierarchy and the kinetic theory of dusty plasmas

摘要

We consider the modern state of a consistent kinetic theory of dusty plasmas. We present the derivation of equations for microscopic phase densities of plasma particles and grains. Such equations are suitable for extending the Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon hierarchy to the case of dusty plasmas and for deriving the kinetic equations with regard for both elastic and inelastic particle collisions. Moreover, we describe the effective grain-grain potentials kinetically.
