Asymptotic Theory of a Steady Flow of a Rarefied Gas Past Bodies for Small Knudsen Numbers

  • Conference paper
Advances in Kinetic Theory and Continuum Mechanics

Abstract

A survey is made of the asymptotic behavior for small Knudsen numbers of the time-independent solution of the boundary-value problem of the Boltzmann equation over a general domain. Included is the hydrodynamic system (hydrodynamic type equations and their slip boundary conditions) describing the asymptotic behavior, with several new results.
