ShARK: A Stochastic Transport Framework for the Relativistic Relaxation Time Approximation Boltzmann Equation
We show that the Anderson-Witting relaxation-time approximation (relativistic Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation) emerges as the $N\rightarrow \infty$ limit of a stochastic $N$-body particle gas, in which collisions perform a full microcanonical momentum redraw that enforces local energy-momentum conservation at ever...
