Vibrational relaxation is computed using a standard Landau-Teller relaxation time with a Park high-temperature correction

\dot{\Theta}^{tr:ve} = \sum _s \rho_s \frac{de^{ve}_{s}}{dt} = \sum _s \rho_s \frac{e^{ve*}_{s} - e^{ve}_{s}}{\tau_s},

where $\tau_s$ is computed using a combination of the Landau-Teller relaxation time, $\langle \tau_s \rangle_{L-T}$, and a limiting relaxation time from Park, $\tau_{ps}$ using

A limiting relaxation time, $\tau_{ps}$, is used to correct for under-prediction of the Millikan--White model at high temperatures. $\tau_{ps}$ is defined as

$$

\tau_{ps} = \frac{1}{\sigma_s c_s n},

Mass, momentum, and energy transport in fluids are all governed by molecular collisions, and expressions for these transport properties can be derived from the kinetic theory. The mass diffusion fluxes, $\mathbf{J}_s$, are computed using Fick's Law of Diffusion:
147+
$$
148+
\mathbf{J}_s = \rho D_s \nabla(c_s),
149+
$$
150+
151+
where $c_s$ is the species mass fraction and $D_s$ is the species multi-component diffusion coefficient. The values of $D_s$ are computed as a weighted sum of binary diffusion coefficients between all species in the mixture. These are obtained by solving the Stefan--Maxwell equations under the Ramshaw approximations. The viscous stress tensor is written as
152+
$$
153+
\boldsymbol{\sigma} = \mu \left( \nabla \mathbf{u} + \nabla {\mathbf{u}}^\mathsf{T} - \frac{2}{3} \mathbf{I} (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{u}) \right),
154+
$$
155+
where $\mu$ is the mixture viscosity coefficient. The conduction heat flux for each thermal energy mode, $\mathbf{q}^{k}$, is assumed to be given by Fourier’s Law of heat conduction:
156+
$$
157+
\mathbf{q}^{k} = \kappa^{k} \nabla(T^k),
158+
$$
159+
160+
where $\kappa^{k}$ is the thermal conductivity associated with energy mode $k$.
161+
162+
$D_s$, $\mu$, and $\kappa$ can be evaluated using either a Wilkes-Blottner-Eucken or Gupta-Yos transport models, with the implemntation details and reocmmendations on use given in the sections below.
