14. The expressions of the diagonal elements of the pressure tensor (viscometric functions) are identical to those obtained in the three-dimensional case. Since no simulation data for these elements have been reported, we have considered it here more convenient to focus our attention on the study of the transport coefficients η, κxy, and κyy.
15. Notice that, in terms of the scaled variable s, Grad’s results are also independent of the interaction potential.
