So, Anderson concluded that the velocity filtration model needed to be redone with Coulomb collisions included. Dorelly and Scudder came back in 2003 with a paper concluding that "the electron heat flux is determined by the essentially collisionless high-energy tail" of the distribution:

Does that mean the coulomb collisions don't really affect prediction of energy transport? I haven't followed the trail of citations any farther...

Stephen Anderson did a very thorough analysis of how Coulomb collisions affect the model.

Do you mean velocity filtration, where the corona is simply
particles from the
tail of the chromospheric distribution function? That theory has been largely discredited.
That's news to me. Do you have a reference?
