… because the Navier-Stokes equations — despite being exceptionally useful for modeling the weather, ocean currents, pipes, cars, airplane wings and other hydrodynamic systems, and despite the million-dollar prize offered for their exact solutions — are incomplete. July 21, 2015

Counterintuitive mass, momentum and heat transfer In the Crookes radiometer, invented in 1873 by Sir William Crookes, exposure to light creates a heat and pressure gradient inside the partial vacuum chamber, turning the vanes. Motivations

Energy harvesting and storage Micro/Nano machining Illustration by Alexandra Rabbitte Formation of structures that could be used to form sensors and actuators, cooling system etc. Shale and tight gas reservoirs consist of porous structures with pore diameter in range such that pore diameters become comparable to gas mean free path. An array of holes, each measuring approximately 125 nm in length, drilled with a computer-controlled focused ion beam.

A single particle distribution function: Particle density distribution function: - Lead to the : Boltzmann equation Does the equation only apply to N particles interacting in a fixed volume V ? Fluid macroscopic mass-density is then always assumed to be first moment of the distribution function in the velocity space. Original Burnett flow equations: the old problem

Second order approximation (Burnett regime) becomes problematic Frame indifference ? Second law of thermodynamics ? Angular momentum conservation ? Original Burnett flow equations: the old problem

o Future works: --- Investigate the role of each of the Korteweg stress term s and their importance and contributions in various engineering flow configurations --- Construction of mixture / multicomponent flow equations in volume diffusion theory Conclusions: o Standard methods to overcome Burnett regime continuum flow equation problems are outdated o Korteweg type of continuum flow equations may be the solutions to the description of rarefied gas flows in the Burnett regime o An additional transport equation may be required for the development of a fully consistent beyond Navier-Stokes flow equation (the volume transport equation ?!) o Entropic heat flux (equation) needs clear distinction from energetic heat flux (equation) in the Burnett regime
