A gallery of maximum-entropy distributions: 14 and 21 moments

S Boccelli, F Giroux, JG McDonald - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2024 - Springer
This work explores the different shapes that can be realized by the one-particle velocity
distribution functions (VDFs) associated with the fourth-order maximum-entropy moment …

Polytropic representation of the kinetic pressure tensor of non-ideal magnetized fluids in equilibrium toroidal structures

C Cremaschini, J Kovář, Z Stuchlík, M Tessarotto - Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Non-ideal fluids are generally subject to the occurrence of non-isotropic pressure tensors,
whose determination is fundamental in order to characterize their dynamical and …

Polytropic representation of non-isotropic kinetic pressure tensor for non-ideal plasma fluids in relativistic jets

C Cremaschini - Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Non-ideal fluids are likely to be affected by the occurrence of pressure anisotropy effects,
whose understanding for relativistic systems requires knowledge of the energy–momentum …
