Solving for the Distribution Functions

Substituting the distribution functions, equations (4.107) and (4.108) into the constraint equations (4.109) and (4.110) and using equations (4.37) - (4.41) we can find the coefficients.

The conservation of mass, tex2html_wrap_inline14675 , gives

equation3301

Considering the coefficients of tex2html_wrap_inline14677 and tex2html_wrap_inline14679 separately we see

  equation3305

and

  equation3309

The conservation of momentum, tex2html_wrap_inline14681 , gives

equation3315

Considering the coefficients of tex2html_wrap_inline14677 and tex2html_wrap_inline14685 we find

  equation3320

and

  equation3324

The constraint tex2html_wrap_inline14687 gives

equation3335

Setting tex2html_wrap_inline14051 and considering the coefficients of tex2html_wrap_inline14691 and tex2html_wrap_inline14693 gives

equation3380

and

equation3386

respectively which can be solved to find

equation3390

and

equation3394

Considering the coefficient of tex2html_wrap_inline14677 for the two cases tex2html_wrap_inline14051 and tex2html_wrap_inline14699 gives

equation3398

and

equation3428

which have solution

equation3458

and

equation3472

The coefficient of tex2html_wrap_inline14677 with tex2html_wrap_inline14703 gives directly

equation3478

The values of tex2html_wrap_inline14705 and tex2html_wrap_inline14707 can now be found from equations (4.119) and (4.120) to be

equation3493

and

equation3497

The constraints tex2html_wrap_inline14709 and tex2html_wrap_inline14711 give

  equation3504

  equation3509

equation3512

and

equation3515

in the same way as equations (4.119), (4.120), (4.122) and (4.123).

The constraint tex2html_wrap_inline14713 gives

equation3529

The coefficient of tex2html_wrap_inline14677 with tex2html_wrap_inline14051 and tex2html_wrap_inline14699 gives

equation3550

and

equation3559

These have solution

equation3568

and

equation3572

Setting tex2html_wrap_inline14721 and tex2html_wrap_inline14723 gives

equation3576

The coefficient of tex2html_wrap_inline14725 gives

  equation3581

when tex2html_wrap_inline14721 and tex2html_wrap_inline14723 . Setting tex2html_wrap_inline14721 and tex2html_wrap_inline14733 and substituting the expression found for d in equation (4.146) gives

equation3587

Finally we find the value of tex2html_wrap_inline14737 and tex2html_wrap_inline14739 from equations (4.136) and (4.137):

equation3593

and

equation3595

This gives all the coefficients in equations (4.107) and (4.108).
