The fields denote, for example:

  • Kn: reference Knudsen number
  • Ma: reference Mach number
  • Pr: reference Prandtl number
  • K: internal degree of freedom of molecule
  • γ: adiabatic index
  • ω: viscosity index
  • αᵣ: reference $\alpha$ in viscosity evaluation
  • ωᵣ: reference $\omega$ in viscosity evaluation
  • μᵣ: reference viscosity
  • m: mass of each particle
  • np: number of particles

The viscosity is evaluated the following hard-sphere model.

\[\mu = \mu_{ref} \left(\frac{T}{T_{ref}}\right)^{\omega}\]

\[\mu_{ref}=\frac{5(\alpha+1)(\alpha+2) \sqrt{\pi}}{4 \alpha(5-2 \omega)(7-2 \omega)} Kn_{ref}\]
