ABSTRACT
The equations for the pair distribution functions are derived directly from the second equation of the Bogolyubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy. The derivation is fulfilled within the frameworks of the multiscale method. The equations for the pair distribution functions are the kinetic foundation for the multimoment hydrodynamics equations. Solutions to the equations for the pair distribution functions predetermine the possibility of constructing the hydrodynamics equations with an arbitrary number of principle hydrodynamic values specified beforehand. The tendency to increase the number of principal hydrodynamic values is caused by the necessity of interpreting the behavior of the system after the loss of stability. Solutions to the classic hydrodynamics equations constructed for only three principle hydrodynamic values are unable to predict the direction of instability evolution. Solutions to the multimoment hydrodynamics equations are capable of reproducing correctly the phenomenon of emergence and development of instability.

1. Introduction
Possibility to study the unstable phenomena by means of the direct numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equations became feasible comparatively recently. The direct numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equations in the problem of a flow around a solid sphere was performed by various numerical methods. Nevertheless, the results of all these numerical experiments were absolutely identical (see, review [1] ). After some critical Reynolds number value is reached; the ground axisymmetric stationary solution
loses its stability. Nonstationary solution
ensures the transition from the
solution that loses its stability to the stable stationary nonaxisymmetric solution
. The attainment of the second critical Reynolds number value
is accompanied by the loss of stability of the
solution. Nonstationary solution
ensures the transition from the
solution that loses its stability to the stable nonstationary limiting cycle
. After attainment of the third critical Reynolds number value
, the
solution loses its stability. Nonstationary solution
ensures the transition from the
limiting cycle that loses its stability to the new stable position about which multiperiodic, that is, almost chaotic,
motion occurs.
Experiment records two stable medium states presented by the and
, velocity distributions, and a stable state of a central type with the
velocity distribution. The
,
, and
stable flows are satisfactorily reproduced by stable solutions
,
, and
. Besides three stable medium states, experiment records six different nonstationary one-periodic and two-periodic vortex shedding modes and one pulsating mode.
Non-stationary solutions,
, and
are aperiodic, and are limited in time. Non-stationary solutions exist only at a critical value of the Reynolds number. These solutions cannot be put in correspondence to observed periodic vortex shedding modes exceedingly prolonged along the Re scale. Correlation of multiperiodic, that is, chaotic in essence, solution
with the observed strictly periodic vortex shedding modes is hardly possible. So, the
limiting cycle is likely the only possibility of establishing correlation between the observed vortex shedding and experiment.
The idea of bringing the stable solution to interpret the six observed vortex shedding modes and the pulsation mode in the range
initially seems to have no prospects. Moreover, this idea is not able to resolve the encountered discrepancies when evaluating the results of the direct numerical integration of the Navier-Stokes equations against experiment. Namely, three of six observed vortex shedding regimes are the two-periodic modes. The
one-periodic solution seems to have no prospects to be set in accordance with two-periodic regimes. At some values of
, the various experiments register qualitatively different vortex shedding regimes. The
solution is incapable of reproducing several different vortex shedding modes simultaneously.
As expected, the idea of bringing the solution to interpret the phenomenon of vortex shedding did not give the desired result. None of numerical experiments detected the slightest indications of vortex shedding on flow pictures presented both by the streamlines and by the streaklines, (see reviews [1] [2] ). So, the calculated
limiting cycle satisfactorily reproduces the
stable central-type state but proves a complete failure when attempts are made to reproduce the vortex shedding modes. In accordance with interpretation of [1] - [3] , the responsibility for the failure of the calculations is laid on the Navier-Stokes equations themselves.
The problems encountered by classic hydrodynamics when interpreting the unstable phenomena were not unexpected. They were predicted in [6] . The possibility of improvement of classic hydrodynamics equations is sought on the way toward an increase in the number of principle hydrodynamic values [1] - [3] . The formalism of [5] allows hydrodynamics equations to be derived with an arbitrary number of principle hydrodynamic values specified beforehand. The multimoment hydrodynamics equations were used in [6] - [9] to study the phenomenon of instability appearance and development in the problem of a flow around a solid sphere at a wide range of Reynolds number values. The multimoment hydrodynamics equations follow directly from the equations for pair distributions functions. The equations for pair distribution functions were previously derived heuristically in [10] . These equations were derived immediately from the Liouville equation in [11] . The derivation [11] was fulfilled in terms of conditional possibilities. In the present work the equations for pair distribution functions are derived directly from the second equation of the BBGKY hierarchy within the frameworks of the multiscale method. The common ideology of the multiscale method is given in [12] . The common ideology [12] is used to derive the kinetic equation for one-particle distribution function in Section 2. The equations for pair distribution functions are derived in Section 3.
2. Equations for One-Particle Distribution Functions on the Kinetic Stage
The s-particle distribution function is specified in [4] . The
function has a meaning of the probability that at some time
one particle, say particle 1, finds itself within an unit element of phase space near point
, another particle, say particle 2, within an unit element near point
and particle
-near point
, regardless of the position in phase space of the remaining
particles. The
function obeys the
-equa- tion of the BBGKY hierarchy
(2.1)
The BBGKY hierarchy is closed by the Liouville equation for. In the thermodynamic limit,
,
, yet
is a finite,
is the volume of the system.
Following common ideology of the multiscale method [12] , let us begin to study the evolution of and
functions. Let us consider only the case of rarefied gas, where the characteristic free path substantially exceeds the characteristic size of particles
. Presuming that a particle may be present at all phase space locations with equal probabilities, recast the first of Equations (2.1) in terms of dimensionless variables. On the initial
-scale, the first equation can be specified in terms of dimensionless time and coordinates as
(2.2a)
(2.2b)
here,
is the characteristic velocity of a particle, and the hat appears above the dimensionless quantities. At the derivation of Equations (2.2), N was estimated as ratio of the system volume V to the characteristic volume
occupied by a single particle, i.e., the dimensionality
.
According to Equation (2.2а), the one-particle distribution function remains unchanged with time along a rectilinear particle trajectory to within
in the 6-dimensional phase space at the times, proportional to
. So, the variation of the distribution function in the order of own magnitude along the particle trajectory occurs only at longer times, proportional to
. Similarly, in accordance with Equation (2.2b), the
distribution function with the error
does not change along the trajectory of two particles in the 12-dimensional phase space at the times, proportional to
.
Let us switch from phase coordinates of two particles first to phase coordinates
,
,
,
, and then to phase coordinates
,
,
,
. Then,
(2.3)
Let us recast the second equation of the BBGKY hierarchy (2.1) in terms of two-particle distribution functions, written in
,
,
,
variables. Let us integrate the second equation with respect to
and
. The integration with respect to
is limited by the
interaction domain of two particles:
(2.4)
In Equation (2.4), the vectors and
have the cylindrical coordinates
and
respectively in the reference frame with the
axis parallel to the
vector,
is the impact parameter, and
is the azimuthal angle. The
function in the second term on the right hand side of Equation (2.4) corresponds to a pair of particles 1 and 2, which leave the interaction domain
at velocities
and
, Figure 1. The
function in the second term on the left hand side of Equation (2.4) corresponds to a pair of particles 1 and 2, which enter the interaction domain
at velocities
and
.
Express the function in terms of the two-particle distribution function at the entrance to the domain
. To do this, it is expedient to pass from function
to function

variables. In accordance with Equation (2.2b),
experiences changes of about
due to triple collisions of particles, as particles 1 and 2 travel in the domain
along the 12-dimensional phase trajectory:

vector are
in the reference frame with the
axis parallel to

and
,
, then they have velocities
and
respectively at the exit of the

Further transformation of relations (2.5) gives:

riant along the trajectory of the center of mass of a pair of particles to within at the times, proportional to
. Weak dependence of the
function on
-scale at the boundary of interaction domain
is specified by weak dependence of the
function on
-scale, see Equations (3.10) and (3.11). Boundary condition (3.6) connects functions
and
.
Apply Equation (2.2b) to penetrate the domain. Let vector
specifies any respective location of particles in pair within the
domain, Figure 1. The
vector has the cylindrical coordinates

in the frame of reference with the
axis parallel to the
vector. Then,

Let us apply the operator upon Equation (2.7). Function
corresponds to a pair of particles, which enter the interaction domain
. In accordance with the aforesaid, function
remains invariant along the trajectory of the center of mass of
a pair of particles to within at the times, proportional to
. After action of the operator
, the left side of Equation (2.7) assumes the form:

Equation (2.8) is specified in terms of dimensionless time and coordinates on the initial scale. Recast Equation (2.8) in terms of distribution function, written in

variables, then
(2.9)
Upon substituting the third term on the left hand side of Equation (2.4) into the force term of the first equation of hierarchy (2.1), this equation assumes the form:
(2.10)
Let us bring Equation (2.10) into the dimensionless form and assess the order of magnitudes of its constituent terms. In accordance with Equation (2.2а), varies only slightly with time along the
-particle trajectory on the initial scale. Then, the
function varies in the order of own magnitude along this trajectory exclusively at the times, proportional to
, i.e., the first term on the left hand side of Equation (2.10) is of order
. So is the second term on the left hand side of Equation (2.10).
To assess the order of magnitude of the first term on the right hand side of Equation (2.10) we use the Equation (2.9). Generally, there are no reasons to believe that the function varies slightly with
on the scale of particle size
, therefore, let us save for the first term on the right side of Equation (2.10) the order of
. The order of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (2.10), allowing for triple collisions, is
.
Expand the dimensionless one-particle distribution function in a perturbation theory series in terms of the virial parameter:
(2.11)
Following Equation (2.11), expand functions and
in a perturbation theory series. Substitute received series into the dimensionless Equation (2.10). Take into account the aforesaid estimates of the terms. Equating the multipliers at equal degrees of
, let us specify the equation for
. Omitting the superscript of distribution functions and going back to the dimensional quantities, one obtain:
(2.12)
The transition (Equations (2.5) and (2.6)) from the function at the outlet of the
interaction domain to that at the inlet of this domain in the first term on the right hand side of Equation (2.12) enables one to recast Equation (2.12) differently:
(2.13)
In accordance with Equation (2.2а), varies slightly along the
-particle trajectory at the times, proportional to
. However, there are no reasons to believe that the
function varies slightly on the initial
-scale in space and with time separately. Assume that
(2.14)
The spatial integration in Equation (2.14) is performed within the region having the characteristic linear size
,
. Averaging (2.14) removes the term
on the right side of Equations (2.12) and (2.13) from the main order of magnitude. The averaged
and
functions weakly change on the scale of particle size
. Because
and hence,
change only slightly with time along the particle trajectory on the initial
-scale,
varies slightly with time also on the initial scale. Analogously, the
function varies slightly in space on the initial
-scale. The particles described by the
function don’t enter the domain of their interaction
. Thus, in accordance with Equation (2.2b), the
function varies slightly with time also on the initial scale.
The argument of the
distribution function is the coordinate of particle 1. The
argument of the
distribution function isn’t the coordinate of individual particle. The
argument of the
distribution function marks the place in space in the vicinity of which a set of particles is concentrated within an unit volume. Multiply the
function by the number of ways in which a pair of particles can be selected from an ensemble of
particles:
(2.15)
The one-particle distribution function has the meaning of the probable number of particles situated at time
in an unit volume element near point
and having velocities in an unit interval near the
point. Multiply Equations (2.12) and (2.13) by
, and average these equations over
within region
:
(2.16)
In Equation (2.16) collision integral assumes the form:
(2.17a)
(2.17b)
Recast collision integral (2.17b) in terms of two-particle distribution functions

variables:
(2.18)
The velocity of the center of mass of pair particles and the modulus
of the relative velocity of particles,
, are invariants of a binary particle collision. The enumeration of all the admissible target parameter values
and
and the directions of relative motion velocity
at a fixed
and
values then gives all the possible velocity directions
. It follows that a collision-caused decrease in the number of pairs of particles from an unit phase volume interval near the
point characterized by all the admissible
and
parameter values and relative motion
orientations is strictly balanced by a collision induced increase in the number of pairs of particles in this interval with these parameters,
(2.19)
here, and
and
are the spherical coordinates of the
vector.
Suppose that,
, is an arbitrary weight function of velocities
and
. The pair properties of the
,
, are invariants of a particle binary collision. Let us multiply the
collision integral determined by Equation (2.18) by
,
, and integrate the result with respect to velocities. By virtue of Equation (2.19), we then have,
(2.20)
This means that particle collisions cannot influence the formation of hydrodynamic values constructed on the properties of the,
, pair. In other words, particle collisions cannot tune the distributions of all these hydrodynamic values to distributions of some other hydrodynamic values. That is, the set of hydrodynamic values constructed on the property of
,
,
(2.21)
is a set of the principal hydrodynamic values. The proportionality coefficient allows discovering the correspondence between the
moments and the moments of the one-particle distribution function. Set (2.21) contains not only the lower function
moments but also all the higher moments without exception. To summarize, the analysis of the properties of the
collision integral reveals the existence of an infinite number of principal hydrodynamic values.
The equation for the one-particle distribution function (2.16) is written in a six-dimensional phase space of one particle (
space). The dimension of the
space allows only the properties of a particle
,
, to be accommodated in it; binary particle collision invariants, that is,
,
, do not fit into the
space. Let us sequentially accommodate the properties of a particle
,
, in the
space. We then have:
(2.22)
It follows [3] that the integrals in the right hand side of (2.22) that contain the lower particle properties 1, and
as weight functions are strictly reduced to the integrals with the 1,
,
weight functions belonging to
, invariants. It follows that, according to Equation (2.20), these integrals are strictly zero. The integrals of all the other higher properties of a particle
different from 1,
and
are not zero [3] .
It follows that, when we pass to the hydrodynamic stage from the phase space of one particle, such hydrodynamics equations cannot be constructed using more than three lower principal hydrodynamic values corresponding to the particle properties. The transition to the hydrodynamic stage from the phase space of one particle excludes higher principal hydrodynamic values (2.21) from participation in the construction of hydrodynamics equations. However, there is no rigorous passage to hydrodynamics from the
space. This passage is closed because Equation (2.16) is not closed.
The use of the Boltzmann hypothesis (“Stosszahlansatz”) opens up the possibility of approximate passage to hydrodynamics. Following Boltzmann, let us factorize two-particle distribution functions in the collision integral (2.17b):
(2.23)
Boltzmann hypothesis (2.23) closes Equation (2.16). The obtained classic kinetic equation for the one-particle distribution function is called the Boltzmann equation [4] :
(2.24)
So, the physical meaning of the error introduced by the Boltzmann hypothesis (2.23) into hydrodynamics is as follows. It follows that just Boltzmann hypothesis allows us to construct hydrodynamics on only three lower principal hydrodynamic values. It follows that the use of the Boltzmann hypothesis excludes higher principal hydrodynamic values (2.21) from the participation in the formation of classic hydrodynamics equations. To include the higher principal hydrodynamic values, we must find passage to hydrodynamics from the phase space capable of accommodating the whole set of binary particle collision,
, invariants.
3. Equations for Pair Distribution Functions
The second equation of the BBGKY hierarchy (2.1), like the first one, is not closed. The integral term of the second hierarchy equation contains a three-particle distribution function responsible for interaction of particles 1 and 2 with some third particle 3. The absence of closeness of the second hierarchy equation prevents us from the direct transition to the hydrodynamic stage from the phase space of two particles.
(3.1)
In accordance with Equation (3.1), under absence of collisions with particle 3, particles 1 and 2, which at the time was located with a probability
within an unit element of the phase space near the point
, will be at time
within an unit element of the phase space near the point
. The second and the third terms on the right-hand side of Equation (3.1) are responsible for the interaction of particles 1 and 2 with particle 3 respectively. The second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) has the meaning of probability that particle 1 experiences a collision with particle 3 during the time interval
. The third term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) has the meaning of probability that particle 2 experiences a collision with particle 3 during the time interval
. Based on the generally accepted assumption that a particle may be present at all phase space locations with equal probabilities, evaluate the contribution of the second and the third terms on the right side of Equation (3.1):
(3.2)
In accordance with Equation (3.2), the distribution function varies slightly along the trajectory of the two particles in
-space on the scale of particle size
. As the time interval
grows, the error
monotonically increases. On the scale of free path
, the error reaches the order of magnitude of the
function itself. The arbitrariness in the location of particle 3 with respect to particles 1 and 2 in the second and the third terms on the right-hand side of Equation (3.1) is the cause of monotonic increase of the error (3.2). When evaluating the order of magnitude of the terms in Equation (3.1), the assumption that a particle may be present at all phase space locations with equal probabilities was used for any position in space of particles 1 and 2. However, there exist such mutual arrangements of particles 1 and 2, for which the assumption on equality of probabilities gives a wrong estimation of the order of the second and the third terms on the right side of Equation (3.1).
Let us evaluate the typical number of particles, which experience a binary collision within an unit space volume at any time moment
:
In accordance with this estimation, the order of magnitude of is
. Two particles take part in a collision, so the typical number of collisions
within an unit space volume at any time
is
. If the duration of the collision is
, then the typical number of particles, which experience a binary collision within an unit space volume during the time of free path
equals
. The order of magnitude of
is
, i.e.,
. Therefore, the typical number of collisions
within an unit space volume during the time of free path is
. Let us multiply the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) by
and integrate it with respect to
and
. The
value should be used to assess the order of magnitude of the received expression on the time scale, proportional to
.
In accordance with ideas of the kinetic theory of gases [14] , the characteristic space volume per particle of gas medium is identified with a characteristic volume, which the particle covers during the time of free path
. Then, during the time of free path
,
particles in average experience a collision within the volume, proportional to
,
. That is, during the time between collisions
, only one particle in average
experiences a collision within the space volume per one medium particle
. Then, during the time between collisions
,
particles in average experience a collision within the volume
(
, i.e.,
). That is, during the time, proportional to
, each of medium particles in average experiences one collision. The error of the estimation
does not exceed the typical number of triple collisions in medium during the time, proportional to
. Competition of the fluctuation error
is insignificant,

equals to the average volume per particle of gas medium

, particles 1 and 2, having collided, leave the domain of their interaction

. At the time
the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) describes a triple collision between particles 1, 2, and 3. During the collision time
, the order of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) will not exceed
. In accordance with Equation (3.2), as time of motion of particles 1 and 2 in
- space grows, contribution of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) increases monotonically. The probability that particle 1 will experience a collision with particle 3 becomes of the order of unity on the length of
. Monotonic increase (3.2) of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) contradicts the ideas of the kinetic theory of gases on a free path of particle. Indeed, particle 1 has already experienced collision with particle 2 at the time
at the boundary of the collisions cylinder
. Therefore, the rectilinear motion of particle 1 within the cylinder
must not be interrupted on the length of
. That is, the possibility of collision between particle 1 and particle 3 contradicts the above evaluated number of collisions
within the cylinder
. As a result, monotonic increase (3.2) of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) contradicts also the above evaluated number of collisions
within the volume
. Indeed, in accordance with the estimation (3.2), the magnitude of
reaches
that far exceeds the error
of the characteristic number of collisions (
,
). Thus, the assumption that a particle may be present at all phase space locations with equal probabilities sets too high estimation of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1). Estimation of the second term on the right side of Equation (3.1) requires a more accurate evaluation of the order of magnitude of the
function. The aforesaid estimations are fully applicable to the third term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1). Let the
function describes particles 1 and 2 located within the collision cylinder
. Then, based on the estimation of the number of collisions
within the cylinder
during the time, proportional to
, we have :
(3.3)
Equation (3.3) has a clear physical meaning. It asserts that a pair of flying-apart particles, that is, of particles that have already left the domain of their interaction and are located within the cylindrical volume
, travels undergoing no collisions with third particle 3. Note that the ideas of the kinetic theory of gases on the free path of particle are valid for an arbitrary gas particle at every time moment. That is why, partial distribution functions
, themselves rather than fluctuations of these functions must correspond to these ideas.
Let particles 1 and 2 are located so that at time the vector
does not extend beyond the collision cylinder

,
, Figure 3. The volume of collision cylinder
equals to the average volume per particle of gas medium
. Let at the time
,
, particles 1 and 2 reach the domain of their interaction

. At the time
the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) describes a triple collision between particles 1, 2, and 3. During the collision time
, the order of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) will not exceed
. In accordance with Equation (3.2), as time of motion of particles 1 and 2 in
-space grows, contribution of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) increases monotonically. The probability that particle 1 will experience a collision with particle 3 becomes of the order of unity on the length of
.
Figure 3. The interaction domain of a pair of particles C0, the collision cylinders C− and C+.
Monotonic increase (3.2) of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1) contradicts the ideas of the kinetic theory of gases on a free path of particle. Indeed, particle 1 will experience collision with particle 2 at the time at the boundary of the collision cylinder
. Therefore, the rectilinear motion of the particle 1 within the cylinder
must not be interrupted on the length
. As a result, the possibility of collision between particle 1 and particle 3 contradicts both the above estimated number of collisions
within the cylinder C− and the number of collisions N4 within the volume V. Thus, the assumption that a particle may be present at all phase space locations with equal probabilities sets too high estimation of the second term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1). Evaluation of the second term on the right side of Equation (3.1) requires a more accurate estimation of the order of magnitude of the
function. The aforesaid estimations are fully applicable to the third term on the right hand side of Equation (3.1). Let the
function describes particles 1 and 2 located within the collision cylinder
. Then, based on the estimation of the number of collisions
within the cylinder
during the time, proportional to
, we have:
(3.4)
Equation (3.4) has a clear physical meaning. It asserts that a pair of drawing together particles, that is, of particles that have not yet reached the domain of their interaction and are located within the cylindrical volume
, travels undergoing no collisions with third particle 3.
Let particles 1 and 2 are located so that at time the vector

Generally, any medium particle forms a pair with every other particle. A medium therefore contains pairs of particles. All these pairs are described by the
function, which obeys the second equation of the BBGKY hierarchy (2.1). If a single particle 2, which either flies away from (Figure 2(a)) or approaches (Figure 2(b)) some particle 1, is selected as a partner of this particle, this pair is described by the
function that obeys Equation (3.5). Note that Equation (3.5) is valid for an arbitrary gas particle rather than some particular particle 1 (Figure 2). Generally, a medium contains
pairs of approaching particles, and
pairs of diverging particles. For this reason, Equation (3.5) is capable of describing the gas as a whole. Heuristic derivation of Equation (3.5) was given in [3] . In [11] , Equation (3.5) was derived in terms of conditional probabilities. In accordance with [11] , the
distribution function is limited by the condition that the third particle is not located within the collision cylinders
and

Expand the dimensionless two-particle distribution function in a perturbation theory series in terms of the virial parameter:

Let us substitute Equation (3.7) into the dimensionless Equation (3.5). Equating the multipliers at equal degrees of, let us specify the equation for

Let us recast Equation (3.11) in the dimensionless form. It turned out that is characteristic scale of variation of the
pair function with time along the trajectory of a center of mass of a pair. Let us op-

The first term in the right hand side of Equation (3.12) contains information, which is excessive for the kinetic stage of gas description. This is information about mutual disposition of particles in the pair contained in the dependence on
and
. According to [17] , in order to proceed to the kinetic stage, we replace this function by its average value:
(3.14)
The replacement (3.14), being substituted in Equation (3.12), makes this equation irreversible.
Expanding the left hand side of Equation (3.12) into series in terms of gives
(3.15)
When writing the right hand side of Equation (3.15), we took into account that, according to Equation (3.13), function (likewise
) changes in time only little on the
-scale along the trajectory of the center of mass of the pair, because it is represented by the
function averaged over this trajectory. This does not necessary mean that functions
and
insignificantly vary on the initial
-scale with time and in space separately. Let
(3.16)
The spatial integration in Equation (3.16) is implemented near point within the
region of a characteristic linear size
,
. Functions
and
change only little in space on the initial scale. Since
and
, and, hence,
and
change insignificantly in time along the trajectory of the center of mass of a pair on the initial scale, time variation of
and
on the initial scale is also insignificant.
Multiplying and
by the number of possible selections of pairs from the set of
particles equal
(transmutations of particles do not lead to a new pair), we arrive at the pair distribution functions defined in [10]
(3.17)
Let us average Equation (3.15) within the region. At the hydrodynamic stage of description, when the characteristic scale of changes in the distribution function
,
, the second term in the left hand side of Equation (3.15) is negligibly small as compared to the first term. As a result, we arrive at one of two equations, which has been derived in [10] heuristically:
(3.18)
Let,
and
are the spherical coordinates of vector
. Integrating Equation (3.18) with respect to
and
yields
(3.19)
Equation for can be derived by analogy with derivation of Equation (3.19). In accordance with Equations (2.5) and (2.6), the
function at the entrance to the interaction domain
of a pair is expressed through the function at the exit from this domain:
(3.20)
where is the velocity of the relative motion of particles, which is acquired by these particles upon their collision, provided their parameters before collision have been
,
and
, Figure 1. Let the series (3.7) be taken into account. Substituting Equation (3.20) into Equation (3.9b) and time averaging along the trajectory of the center of mass of a pair yields
(3.21)
Without performing the irreversible replacement in Equation (3.21), we integrate this equation with respect to and
. Then, averaging Equation (3.21) within the
region near point
and using definitions (3.16) and (3.17), we arrive at the second equation derived in [10] heuristically:
(3.22)
The solution to the closed set of Equations (3.19) and (3.22) discovers the basic property of the pair distribution functions. It shows that the distribution functions and
do not change with time along the trajectory of the center of mass of a pair:
(3.23)
This means that particle collisions cannot influence the formation of hydrodynamic values constructed on the pair properties of,
. In other words, particle collisions cannot tune the distributions of all these hydrodynamic values to distributions of some other hydrodynamic values. That is, the set of hydrodynamic values constructed on the property

,
(3.24)
is a set of principle hydrodynamic values. The relationship between the functions and
is given in [5] . This relationship allows establishing a correspondence between the principal hydrodynamic values
(2.21) and
(3.24).
4. Conclusions
The Navier-Stokes equations have been used with much success for more than one and a half century as a tool for very accurately describing stable incompressible flows, both stationary and non-stationary. However, in recent decades, the Navier-Stokes equations have been faced with insurmountable difficulties in interpreting flows, losing its stability. In accordance with the interpretation of [1] - [3] , the reason for their failure is the lack of the main hydrodynamic values used in constructing the equations of classic hydrodynamics.
Classic hydrodynamics equations are constructed for only three lower principle hydrodynamic values: the density of particles number, the hydrodynamic velocity, and the pressure. Higher principle hydrodynamic values are not used in the formation of classic hydrodynamics equations. The possibility of the formation of hydrodynamics equations with an arbitrary number of principle hydrodynamic values specified beforehand was found in [11] . The multimoment hydrodynamics equations were derived immediately from the equations for the pair distribution functions in [5] .
The distribution functions for pairs of drawing together and flying apart particles referred to as pair distribution functions are constructed in [10] , where the heuristic derivation of the equations for the pair distribution functions has been suggested. In [11] , the equations for the pair distribution functions are derived directly from the fundamental principles of the statistical mechanics. The Liouville equation was used in [11] as a base when deriving the equations for the pair distribution functions. There is an analogy between the derivation on these equations [11] and the Grad method [16] used in deriving the Boltzmann equation for a gas consisting of rigid spheres.
In [11] , equation for two-particle distribution function was derived in terms of conditional probabilities. In Section 2, the equation for
is derived directly from the second equation of the BBGKY hierarchy within the frameworks of formalism of the multiscale method. Within the
cylinder, the
distribution function describes pairs of particles which are diverging after collision with each other. These particles move further without collision with third particle. Within the
cylinder, the
distribution function describes pairs of particles, which are approaching each other before their collision. These particles also move without collision with third particle.
The common ideology of the multiscale method is described in [12] . The multiscale method was used in [18] - [20] for the deriving the Boltzmann equation. Each of these formalisms interprets the ideology of some scales in its own way. In Sections 2 and 3, we don’t follow any of interpretations [18] [19] or [20] . Equations for the distribution functions are written separately at each scale. The ideas of the kinetic theory of gases on a free path are used when evaluating the order of terms in equations. Derived Equations (2.12) and (2.13) follow the evolution of the one-particle distribution function at the finest -scale. The transition to the kinetic scale leads to Equation (2.16) with the collision integral (2.17). The Boltzmann hypothesis of molecular chaos closes equation (2.16), allowing constructing classic hydrodynamics equations only with three lower principle hydrodynamic values. Equation (3.8) for the
function is used as a base when deriving equations for the pair distribution functions (3.18) and (3.22). Derived equations for the pair functions do not limit hydrodynamics equations in a number of principle hydrodynamic values.
