Series expansion

${\displaystyle f(r,c,t)=f^{0}(c|n,u,T)1+Kn\phi ^{1}(c|n,u,T)+Kn^{2}\phi ^{2}(c|n,u,T)+\cdots }$

Extensions

The Onsager-Burnett Equations, commonly referred to as OBurnett, which form a superset of the Navier-Stokes equations and are second-order accurate for Knudsen number. ^[2]

Eq. (1) ${\displaystyle {\sqrt {\tau }}{\frac {du^{s}}{ds}}-{\frac {9}{8}}\alpha _{1}u^{*}({\frac {du^{*}}{ds}})^{2}={\frac {\tau }{u^{*}}}-\tau _{0}-1+u^{*}}$

Eq. (2) ${\displaystyle {\frac {45}{16}}{\sqrt {\tau }}{\frac {d\tau }{ds}}+{\frac {9}{4}}\gamma _{1}\tau ({\frac {du^{*}}{ds}})^{2}-{\frac {9}{4}}\Psi u^{*}{\frac {d\tau }{ds}}{\frac {du^{*}}{ds}}={\frac {3}{2}}(\tau -\tau _{0})-{\frac {1}{2}}(1-u^{*})^{2}-\tau _{0}(1-u^{*})}$ ^[3]

Derivation

Starting with the Boltzmann equation ${\displaystyle {\frac {\partial {f}}{\partial {t}}}+c_{k}\partial {f}{x_{k}}+F_{k}\partial {f}{c_{k}}=J(f,f_{1})}$
