Bulk and shear viscosity coefficients for systems composed of quasiparticles with medium-modified dispersion relations are determined within an effective kinetic theory approach of Boltzmann-Vlasov type. Local conservation of energy and momentum, which is self-consistently embedded in the kinetic theory, implies in thermal equilibrium thermodynamic consistency in quasiparticle approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
