1 Correction to: Acta Mechanica Sinica (2021) 37(1):2–17 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10409-021-01051-9

In the original publication two mistakes caused by typesetting emerged during the Springer internal production. This is a correction for them:

(1) For Eq. (4), one negative sign should be removed in the constitutive relation for stress \(\tau \). The superscript of stress \(\tau \) is (1). In short, the equation for stress should be \(\tau ^{(1)}_{xy} = \mu \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial y}}\). The formula for heat flux \(q_{y}\) is correct.

(2) For Table 1, the content in the cell of the first row, last column should be changed from “(DSMC)” to “\(C_D\) (N/m) (DSMC)”.
