Abstract
An analytical version of the discrete-ordinates method is used here in the field of rarefied-gas dynamics to solve a version of the temperature-jump problem that is based on a linearized, variable collision frequency model of the Boltzmann equation. In addition to a complete development of the discrete-ordinates method for the application considered, the computational algorithm is implemented to yield accurate numerical results for three specific cases: the classical BGK model, the Williams mod ...
An analytical version of the discrete-ordinates method is used here in the field of rarefied-gas dynamics to solve a version of the temperature-jump problem that is based on a linearized, variable collision frequency model of the Boltzmann equation. In addition to a complete development of the discrete-ordinates method for the application considered, the computational algorithm is implemented to yield accurate numerical results for three specific cases: the classical BGK model, the Williams model (the collision frequency is proportional to the magnitude of the velocity), and the rigid-sphere model. ...
