Finite-difference methods for the Boltzmann equation for binary gas mixtures

  • Chapter
Modeling and Computational Methods for Kinetic Equations

Abstract

A finite-difference method for the Boltzmann equation for a binary mixture of hard-sphere gases that has been developed in the authors’ group is explained. Then, its applications to some fundamental problems of rarefied gas dynamics are presented.
