  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;It is shown that the distribution function assumed by Mott-Smith determines a unique relation between heat flux, stress, and fluid velocity given by q = (3/2)&lt;sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;τ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;u, i.e., it provides a constitutive relation for heat flux, and it also determines a simple expression for this ratio of third-order central moments Q = (C&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sub&gt;x) / &lt;/sub&gt;C&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt;C&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. These expressions allow the equation of transfer for c x2 to be cast in a form that yields a nonlinear constitutive relation for stress. The results obtained from the Mott-Smith ansatz are compared with the theory of Baganoff and Nathenson and results from a numerical solution of the Boltzmann equation for shock-wave structure obtained by Hicks and Yen.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
