Abstract

A method is given for representing the effects of viscosity by means of translational relaxation. When applied to the absorption and dispersion of a sound wave in a monatomic gas, the relaxation theory gives a dominant root that is identical to, at low frequencies, and very similar to, at other frequencies, the dominant root of classical theory. Over all, the roots of the relaxation theory are very similar to the roots of the Burnett theory.
