The predictions of the multiple-regime flows from continuum regime to free molecular regime
are crucial for the aerodynamic design in a large number of engineering applications, such …

In the previous study, the multiscale discrete velocity method (MDVM) has been developed
for monatomic gas with particle translational motion only. Unlike the unified gas-kinetic …

Multiscale nonequilibrium physics at large variations of local Knudsen number are
encountered in applications of aerospace engineering and micro-electro-mechanical …

This Element presents a unified computational fluid dynamics framework from rarefied to
continuum regimes. The framework is based on the direct modelling of flow physics in a …

We propose a new ES-BGK model for diatomic gases which allows for translational–
rotational and translational–vibrational energy exchanges, as given by Landau–Teller and …

In this paper, a unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) for multiphase dilute gas-particle system
is proposed. The UGKS multiphase (UGKS-M) is a finite volume method, which captures …

An implicit scheme for steady state solutions of diatomic gas flow is presented. The Rykov
model equation is solved in the finite volume discrete velocity method framework, in which …

The gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) and the unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) are numerical
methods based on the gas-kinetic theory, which have been widely used in the numerical …

In this paper, a BGK-type kinetic model for diatomic gases is proposed to describe the high-
temperature thermodynamic non-equilibrium effect, which is a phenomenological relaxation …

In this work, an improved fully implicit discrete-velocity method (DVM) is developed for flows
over all Knudsen numbers. The improvements aim to overcome the drawbacks of the …
