Kinetic Theory and Fluid Dynamics

Yoshio Sone
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the fluid-dynamic type equations derived from the Boltzmann equation as its asymptotic behavior for small mean free path and the boundary conditions that describe the behavior of the gas in the continuum limit.

A unified gas-kinetic scheme for continuum and rarefied flows IV

TL;DR: The UGKS as discussed by the authors is a direct modeling method in the mesh size scale, and its underlying flow physics depends on the resolution of the cell size relative to the particle mean free path.

A Model for Collision Processes in Gases. I. Small Amplitude Processes in Charged and Neutral One-Component Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a kinetic theory approach to collision processes in ionized and neutral gases is presented, which is adequate for the unified treatment of the dynamic properties of gases over a continuous range of pressures from the Knudsen limit to the high pressure limit where the aerodynamic equations are valid.

The Boltzmann equation and its applications

TL;DR: In this article, the Boltzmann Equation for rigid spheres is used to model the dynamics of a gas of rigid spheres in phase space and to solve the problem of flow and heat transfer in regions bounded by planes or cylinders.
