On computing the Chapman-Enskog and Burnett functions

An expansion and projection technique based on Legendre polynomials is used to solve, in an efficient and accurate way, the Chapman-Enskog equations for viscosity and heat transfer and to compute the Burnett functions required, for example, for Poiseuille-flow problems based on rigid-sphere collisio...

Summary:An expansion and projection technique based on Legendre polynomials is used to solve, in an efficient and accurate way, the Chapman-Enskog equations for viscosity and heat transfer and to compute the Burnett functions required, for example, for Poiseuille-flow problems based on rigid-sphere collisions and the linearized Boltzmann equation.
