Applied Scientific Research, Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Following the reasoning of von Mises, the author attempts to answer the question, “Does the use of higher order Burnett terms from the solution of the Boltzmann equation in the von Mises approach improve the bounds of the thickness of steady shock?” The answer is a negative one.
