“…Most of the early derivations were restricted to the quasielastic limit (α ij ≈ 1), thus assuming an expansion around Maxwellians at the same temperature [3,4,5,6,7,8]. However, the nonequipartition of energy becomes significant beyond the quasi-elastic limit, as confirmed by kinetic theory [9,10,11,12], computer simulations [11,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21], and real experiments [21,22,23]. A more realistic derivation of the NS transport coefficients [24,25,26,27] requires taking into account the nonequipartition of energy and applies for finite dissipation.…”
