Dynamic friction force, diffusion tensor, flux density in velocity space, and Coulomb collision term are expressed in curvilinear coordinates via Trubnikov potential functions corresponding to each species of background plasma. For comparison, explicit formulas are given for dynamic friction force, diffusion tensor and collisional flux density in velocity space in curvilinear coordinates via Rosenbluth potential functions summed over all species of background plasma.
