On computing the Chapman–Enskog functions for viscosity and heat transfer and the Burnett functions

Hermite cubic splines and collocation are used to solve, in an efficient and accurate way, the Chapman–Enskog equations for viscosity and heat transfer and to compute the Burnett functions required for Poiseuille-flow problems based on rigid-sphere collisions and the linearized Boltzmann equation.
