On the derivation of the Burnett hydrodynamic equations from the Hilbert expansion

We have derived the Burnett-order transport equations by applying the Hilbert expansion to the steady BGK equation. The pressure tensor and heat flux vector are computed for potentials of the form r−μ. The calculated transport coefficients are compared with those obtained by means of the Chapman-Enskog expansion.
