Pete,
The kinetic theory of liquids makes the kinetic theory of gases
look simple. You could try looking at this:
Dynamics of Polymeric Liquids, Vol. 2, Kinetic Theory

Another thing that is intermediate between...
Pete,
Here are some quick, unresearched thoughts. Let me stick to gases.
The kinetic theory derivation of the Navier-Stokes eqns makes the
assumption that the mean time between molecular collisions is much
faster than any other time scale present. Switching from time to
length scales, the...
