The Krook kinetic equation for identical planetary ring particles is presently generalized for the case of two-component systems, and the equations are numerically solved on the basis of Brophy and Esposito's (1989) phase-space CFD method. Attention is given to the simulation results obtained for a two-component narrow ring, in which the large particles are eight times as massive as the small particles. This ring's unconstrained edge dynamics are resolved by the simulation, and are found to exhibit a sharpening that would not have been expected in single-component rings.
