IV.D219 — Critical mobility threshold
The critical mobility threshold mu_crit is the macroscopic mobility value at which the Euler budget ceases to hold; for mu <= mu_crit the budget is conserved, while for mu > mu_crit viscous dissipation breaks the budget and entropy production becomes non-negligible.
