AN ELEMENTARY NUMERICAL TREATMENT OF THE BOLTZMANN EQUATION FOR A SIMPLE GAS WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WALL INTERACTION,

Abstract

Analysis of an numerical experiments connected with solution of the Boltzmann equation for a simple gas are described. Efforts are directed towards providing a better understanding of kinetic theory predictions for flow phenomena near a wall.
