On the accuracy of macroscopic equations for linearized rarefied gas flows

Abstract Many macroscopic equations are proposed to describe the rarefied gas dynamics beyond the Navier-Stokes level, either from the mesoscopic Boltzmann equation or some physical arguments, including (i) Burnett, Woods, super-Burnett, augmented Burnett equations derived from the Chapman-Enskog ex...
