Abstract

The thermal conductivity and viscosity of fluids are known to exhibit an enhancement due to critical fluctuations. Procedures proposed in the literature for estimating the correlation length determining the magnitude of these enhancements have been reviewed, and a recommendation to reduce complexity and computation time is presented.
