## Macroscopic quantities
In the [preceding chapter](../dimensionless) we introduced the density distribution function $f$ and its
non-dimensional counterpart $f^\ast$. From now on, we will assume that all quantities are without dimensions
and omit the $^\ast$. Apart from making the dimensional analysis of the Navier--Stokes and the Boltzmann equation
we never discussed the actual link between the quantities present in each equation. It will be the aim of this
section. Actually macroscopic quantities are related to moments of $f$ as
$$
\begin{align}
\rho(\bm{x}, t)&=\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(\bm{x}, \bm{\xi}, t)\mathrm{d}\bm{\xi},\\\\
\rho(\bm{x}, t)\bm{u}(\bm{x}, t)&=\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(\bm{x}, \bm{\xi}, t)\bm{\xi}\mathrm{d}\bm{\xi},
\end{align}
$$
where the density, $\rho$, and the momentum $\rho\bm{u}$ are the zeroth and first order moment of $f$.
