This volume contains the fourteen papers presented at the
NATO-sponsored Ad vanced Research Workshop on the 'Status and
Future Developments in the Study of Transport Properties' held in
Porto Carras, Halkidiki, Greece from May 29 to May 31, 1991. The
Workshop was organised to provide a forum for the discussion among
prac titioners of the state-of-the-art in the treatment of the
macroscopic, non-equilibrium properties of gases. The macroscopic
quantities considered all arise as a result of the pairwise
interactions of molecules in states perturbed from an equilibrium,
Maxwellian distribution. The non-equilibrium properties of gases
have been studied in detail for well over a century following the
formulation of the Boltzmann equation in 1872. Since then the range
of phenomena amenable to experimental study has expanded greatly
from the properties characteristic of a bulk, non-uniform gas, such
as the viscosity and thermal conductivity, to the study of
differential scattering cross-sections in molecular beams at
thermal energies, to studies of spectral-line widths of individual
molecules and of Van der Waals complexes and even further. The
common thread linking all of these studies is found in the
corresponding theory which relates them all to the potential energy
function describing the interaction of pairs of molecules. Thus,
accompanying the experimental development there has been a
corresponding improvement in the theoretical formulation of the
quantities characterising the various phenomena."
