Abstract
The problem of the steady-plane monatomic rarefied gas flow around a semiinfinite bar is considered (the plane stationary case of the problem about the bottom zone). The problem is solved numerically at the level of the Krook relaxation model [1, 2]. A depenence of the gas density, velocity, and temperature in the whole flow domain on the space coordinates is obtained for supersonic and subsonic gas streams flowing around a body by using calculations on an M-20 electronic calculator.
