The Burnett equations for a relativistic gas

The Burnett constitutive equations for the dynamic pressure, heat flux and pressure deviator are obtained from the relativistic Boltzmann equation by using fourteen moment equations and an iteration method akin to the Maxwell ian iteration procedure of the non-relativistic theory. The non-relativisti c and ultra-relativistic limits of all Burnett coefficients are given and i t is shown that the non-relativistic limit of the Burnett constitutive equa tions agree with those obtained from the non-relativistic Boltzmann equatio n.
