Applications of the boltzmann equation within the context of upper atmosphere vehicle aerodynamics

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Half-space problems for the Boltzmann equation are used in order to derive boundary conditions for gas flows past an obstacle at the level of fluid mechanics. They also appear to describe transitions between flows with strongly contrasted Knudsen numbers. Various numerical approximations for these questions are discussed.
