      In this paper, we consider phase boundary solutions to a four-velocity kinetic model of a kinetic equation governing the motion of van der Waals fluids. These solutions connect such equilibrium states, which are saddle critical points of the suitable dynamic system. Solutions of this type can be interpreted as dynamic phase transition. The mathematical apparatus is that of the Coney index theory.
