## Abstract The Ruijgrok–Wu model of the kinetic theory of rarefied gases is investigated both in the fluid‐dynamic and hydro‐dynamic scalings. It is shown that the first limit equation is a first order quasilinear conservation law, whereas the limit equation in the diffusive scaling is the viscous

We study the time evolution of a quantum particle in a Gaussian random environment. We show that in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of the wave function converges to a solution of a linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. The Boltzmann collision kernel is given by the Born approx

We study the asymptotic equivalence of the 1-d Broadwell model of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation to its corresponding Euler equation of compressible gas dynamics in the limit of small mean free path. We consider the case where the initial data are allowed to have jump discontinuities such that the
