Thermodynamic Explanation of Landau Damping by Reduction to Hydrodynamics
Landau damping is the tendency of solutions to the Vlasov equation towards spatially homogeneous distribution functions. The distribution functions, however, approach the spatially homogeneous manifold only weakly, and Boltzmann entropy is not changed by the Vlasov equation. On the other hand, densi...
