Application of the integro-moment method to steady-state two-dimensional rarefied gas flows subject to boundary induced discontinuities
(2008)The computational efficiency of the integro-moment method for solving steady-state two-dimensional rarefied gas flows is investigated. The two-dimensional boundary driven flow of a single gas in a cavity is used as a model ... -
Conductive heat transfer in a rarefied polyatomic gas confined between coaxial cylinders
(2014)The conductive heat transfer through rarefied gases composed by rigid rotators and confined between coaxially placed cylinders maintained at different temperatures is investigated on the basis of the Holway and Rykov kinetic ... -
The driven cavity flow over the whole range of the Knudsen number
(2005)The flow of a rarefied gas in a rectangular enclosure due to the motion of the upper wall is solved over the whole range of the Knudsen number. The formulation is based on the two-dimensional linearized Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook ... -
Statistical-mechanical description of classical test-particle dynamics in the presence of an external force field: modelling noise and damping from first principles
(2006)Aiming to establish a rigorous link between macroscopic random motion (described e.g. by Langevin-type theories) and microscopic dynamics, we have undertaken a kinetic-theoretical study of the dynamics of a classical ... -
The temperature-jump problem for a mixture of two gases
(2001)An analytical variation of the discrete-ordinates method is used to establish a concise and accurate solution to the temperature-jump problem for a binary gas mixture. The analysis is based on Boltzmann equations of the ...
