Abstract
The existing ideas on the status of the Navier–Stokes equations are changed in taking into account the following facts: generally speaking, the terms of these equations neglected in the boundary layer equations are of the order of certain Burnett terms in the conservation equations; the Navier–Stokes equations cannot be used to describe slow nonisothermal gas flows since in this case it is necessary to take the Burnett temperature stresses into account; and in the transport relations the Burnett terms determine certain effects (for example, the mechanocaloric effect).
