Revised Enskog equation for hard rods
Abstract: We point out that Percus's collision integral for one-dimensional hard rods [J. K. Percus, Physics of Fluids 12, 1560-1563 (1969)] does not preserve the thermal equilibrium state in an external trapping potential. We derive a revised Enskog equation for hard rods and show that it preserves this thermal state exactly. In contrast to recent proposed kinetic equations for dynamics in integrability-breaking traps, both our kinetic equation and its thermal states are explicitly nonlocal in space. Our equation differs from earlier proposals at third order in spatial derivatives and we attribute this discrepancy to the choice of collision integral underlying our approach.
