Kinetic theory of non-equilibrium fluids

Abstract: A survey of the kinetic theory of transport phenomena in simple fluids is presented. The Chapman-Enskog solution of the Boltzmann equation for dilute gases, the Enskog theory for dense gases, and the current theory for moderately dense gases are discussed. Next, a critique of the Green-Kubo formulae for the transport coefficients is presented. After a discussion of the long time tail contributions to the transport coefficients, recent computer simulations of dense fluids under very severe strain rates or high frequencies are compared with present theory.
