▪ Abstract The recent avalanche of research activity in the field of granular matter has yielded
much progress. The use of state-of-the-art (and other) computational and experimental …

The kinetic theory of gases as we know it dates to the paper of Boltzmann in 1872. The
justification and context of this equation has been clarified over the past half century to the …

The physical effects associated with the implementation of two different types of thermal (or
stochastic) walls that could be used in computer simulations are considered. The effects of …

The steady plane Couette flow is analyzed within the framework of the five field equations of
mass, momentum and energy for a Newtonian viscous heat conducting ideal gas in which …

The derivation of analytical equations of non-continuum macroscopic transport phenomena
is underpinned by approximate descriptions of the particle distribution function and is …

Numerical simulation of hypersonic flows over a flat plate in near-continuum regime is
presented to assess a data-improved Navier-Stokes (DiNS) model, which has been …

This paper presents a systematic approach to the calculation of heat transfer in rarefied
gases (Knudsen numbers between 0.01 and 1) by means of Grad's moment method with …

We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics to explore the effect of shear flow on heat flux.
By simulating a simple fluid in a channel bounded by tethered atoms, the heat flux is …

This paper presents quite general bidimensional gas-dynamic equations—derived from
kinetic theory-which include the fourth cumulant κ (r→, t) as a dynamic field. The dynamics …

Featured Application This study aims to fill a knowledge gap in rarefied gas flows,
addressing the complexities related to wall temperatures and pressure differentials in the …
