Abstract
It is shown that the work of Cercignani and Tironi on Maxwell's boundary conditions method can be improved in a simple and logical way. The technique for improvement is illustrated by a study of the linearized plane Couette flow problem and it is found that the proposed modification yields results that are identical with some highly accurate variational results.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
