A concept based on relaxation of the hydrodynamic parameters is introduced to arrive at acomputational model for the extreme non-equilibrium distribution function of carriers inmulti-valley bandstructure. The relaxation times are taken to describe the evolution scale ofthe distribution function. The developed model is able to account for transport phenomena atthe momentum relaxation scale. The model, together with the Monte Carlo simulation, isapplied to obtain the electron distribution function in each valley of the lower conductionband in GaAs, and to study the evolution of the distribution function in GaAs subjected torapid changes in field
