Transport calculations in arbitrarily polarized liquidHe3

Abstract
Exact solutions of the low-T multicomponent transport equations are adapted to spin-polarized He3 to calculate viscosity and thermal conductivity. The longitudinal interactions of Bedell and Sanchez-Castro and an assumption on the spin-flip interaction are used to obtain the scattering rates. The transport coefficients initially decrease with polarization, and then pass through a minimum to a rapid rise. The key effects can be mostly attributed to changes in the singlet scattering contributions. Effects on sound attenuation are also discussed.
