On Kinetic Theory Viscosity in a Rotating Gas
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.
