Abstract: The lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) method is used to evaluate the transport properties of normal liquid Helium-3 (3He) within the Landau–Abrikosov–Khalatnikov (LAK) formalism. The LOCV effective two-body interaction of the liquid Helium 3 is used to calculate the differential cross-section and the scattering probability, which is needed to solve the LAK equations. It is shown that, the choice of effective mass has crucial role on the resulting viscosity and thermal conductivity of normal liquid 3He. Our LOCV-LAK calculations are compared with the other theoretical and experimental results.
