It is essential to efficiently solve multiscale flows covering the continuum regime to the rarefied regime. The explicit form of Grad's 13 moments distribution function-based moment gas kinetic solver (G13-MGKS) has been proposed in our…
This paper derives transport equations for medium rarefied gases from the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model kinetic equation using a Hermite polynomial approximation for the monoatomic gas distribution function. We apply the Chapman-Enskog…
Mixtures of relativistic gases are analyzed within the framework of Boltzmann equation by using Grad's moment method. A relativistic mixture of $r$ constituent is characterized by the moments of the distribution function: particle…
We introduce a numerical method for solving Grad's moment equations or regularized moment equations for arbitrary order of moments. In our algorithm, we do not need explicitly the moment equations. As an instead, we directly start from the…
In this work, we explore the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for solving the regularized 13-moment (R13) equations for rarefied monatomic gases. While previous applications of the MFS in rarefied gas flows relied on problem-specific…
We study efficient simulation of steady state for rarefied gas flow, which is modeled by the Boltzmann equation with BGK-type collision term. A nonlinear multigrid solver is proposed to resolve the efficiency issue by the following…
Simulations of the discrete Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation are an important tool for understanding fluid dynamics in non-continuum regimes. Here, we introduce a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) for…
We are interested in solving the Boltzmann equation of chemically reacting rarefied gas flows using the Grad's-14 moment method. We first propose a novel mathematical model that describes the collision dynamics of chemically reacting hard…
The discrete unified gas kinetic scheme (DUGKS) is a new finite volume (FV) scheme for continuum and rarefied flows which combines the benefits of both Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and unified gas kinetic scheme (UGKS). By reconstruction…
The non-equilibrium gas dynamics is described by the Boltzmann equation, which can be solved numerically through the deterministic and stochastic methods. Due to the complicated collision term of the Boltzmann equation, many kinetic…
When the flow is sufficiently rarefied, a temperature gradient, for example, between two walls separated by a few mean free paths, induces a gas flow---an observation attributed to the thermo-stress convection effects at microscale. The…
The gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) provides high computational efficiency and accuracy for continuum flow simulations but is unable to reliably capture rarefaction effects. In contrast, although the discrete velocity method (DVM) is better suited…
An implicit high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is developed to find steady-state solution of rarefied gas flow described by the Boltzmann equation with full collision operator. In the physical space, velocity distribution…
An efficient third-order discrete unified gas kinetic scheme (DUGKS) with efficiency is presented in this work for simulating continuum and rarefied flows. By employing two-stage time-stepping scheme and the high-order DUGKS flux…
We consider flux-corrected finite element discretizations of 3D convection-dominated transport problems and assess the computational efficiency of algorithms based on such approximations. The methods under investigation include…
One of the central problems in the study of rarefied gas dynamics is to find the steady-state solution of the Boltzmann equation quickly. When the Knudsen number is large, i.e. the system is highly rarefied, the conventional iteration…
Heat-flux boundary conditions are challenging to implement efficiently in rarefied gas flow simulations because the wall-reflected gas temperature and density must be determined dynamically during the computation. This paper aims to tackle…
In rarefied gas flows, the spatial grid size could vary by several orders of magnitude in a single flow configuration (e.g., inside the Knudsen layer it is at the order of mean free path of gas molecules, while in the bulk region it is at a…
The classical problem of steady rarefied gas flow past an infinitely thin circular disk is revisited, with particular emphasis on the gas behavior near the disk edge. The uniform flow is assumed to be perpendicular to the disk surface. An…
A novel method aimed at a kinetic moments closure for a magnetized plasma with arbitrary collisionality is proposed. The intended first application is to a tokamak edge and scrape-off-layer plasma. The velocity distribution function for…
