The first moments of the rotating-frame collisionless Boltzmann equation express radial and azimuthal momentum balance. Coriolis terms enter as −2Ωb​ρ⟨vϕ​⟩ and +2Ωb​ρ⟨vR​⟩ on the left. Geometric stress terms are ρ(⟨vR2​⟩−⟨vϕ2​⟩)/R and 2ρ⟨vR​vϕ​⟩/R. Second moments include random stress and streaming flux.
