▪ Abstract In the framework of the classical gas dynamics, no steady flow is induced in a gas
without an external force, such as gravity, by the effect of a temperature field. In a rarefied …

2 Chapter 1. Introduction on. Owing to the derivation of the Navier~ Stokes set of equations,
Chapman~ Enskog expansion is mainly referred to when the relation between fluid …

In a rarefied gas or a gas in a small system, where kinetic theory analysis is required, a
temperature field plays an important role on gas motion. Besides the well-known thermal …

The structure of a normal shock wave for a binary mixture of hard-sphere gases is analyzed
numerically on the basis of the Boltzmann equation by a finite-difference method. In the …

This article is the combination of a review and some new results of kinetic theoretical studies
on the half-space problem of evaporation and condensation. A semi-infinite expanse of a …

In the present work, the influence of the gas–surface interaction law on the classical
problems of viscous drag and thermophoresis on a spherical particle with high thermal …

A uniform supersonic flow of a rarefied gas past a flat plate at zero angle of attack is
considered, and the steady behavior of the gas around the plate is investigated numerically …

A flow of a rarefied gas caused by a discontinuous wall temperature is investigated on the
basis of kinetic theory in the following situation. The gas is confined in a two-dimensional …

Prediction of thermophoretic migration of particles suspended in a fluid is of practical
importance for many industrial applications including gas cleaning applications. The design …

A steady flow of a rarefied gas induced by a temperature field is investigated, on the basis of
kinetic theory, for the case where the temperature of each boundary is uniform (ie, where the …
