On Kinetic Theory Viscosity in a Rotating Gas
arXiv:astro-ph/0409143 · doi:10.1143/PTP.112.357
Abstract
Clarke and Pringle (2004) derived a proper viscosity formula in a rotating gas by applying mean free path theory. We study their argument in detail and show that their result can be derived with a much simpler calculational procedure and physically clearer picture.
