TLDR
Evidence is provided that the Burnett corrections to the heat flux significantly improve the agreement with the computed values over the Navier-Stokes predictions in the shock-front region.Abstract:
Atomistic simulations of a strong shock wave in a hard-sphere gas are analyzed in terms of thermodynamic forces and fluxes. Evidence is provided that the Burnett corrections to the heat flux significantly improve the agreement with the computed values over the Navier-Stokes predictions in the shock-front region.read more

Direct Simulation Monte Carlo: Recent Advances and Applications
TL;DR: In this article, the principles of and procedures for implementing direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) are described and guidelines to inherent and external errors common in DSMC applications are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the Navier-Stokes equations: Burnett hydrodynamics
TL;DR: The derivation of the Burnett equations is considered from several theoretical approaches in this paper, in particular the Chapman-Enskog, Grad's method, and Truesdell's approach for solving the Boltzmann equation.

Fullerenes, nanotubes, onions and related carbon structures
TL;DR: Fullerenes, containing five-and six-membered carbon rings, exhibit phase transitions associated with orientational ordering as mentioned in this paper, and when suitably doped with electrons, it shows novel superconducting and magnetic properties.

Direct simulation Monte Carlo for thin‐film bearings
TL;DR: In this article, the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) scheme is used to study the gas flow under a read/write head positioned nanometers above a moving disk drive platter (the slider bearing problem).
