Molecular
Molecular Gas Dynamics originates from lectures and seminars delivered by the author at various universities and institutions worldwide. These materials are supplemented and arranged in a form appropriate to a graduate textbook on molecular gas dynamics, or gas dynamics on the basis of kinetic theory. The book provides an up-to-date description of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications giving interesting and important gas dynamic phenomena. The progress of molecular gas dynamics in the last forty years has greatly enhanced the contents of the basic theory and provided information on various interesting and important gas dynamic problems. This has made it possible to compile a new graduate textbook on molecular gas dynamics. The present book reflects these developments providing working knowledge: theory, techniques, and typical phenomena in a rarefied gas (low-density and micro flows), for future theoretical development and applications. The book begins with a brief presentation of the fundamental properties of the Boltzmann equation and a summary of notation used globally in subsequent chapters of the book. A full explanation of the fundamental properties is given in Appendix A. The author hopes that readers of various backgrounds can proceed quickly to the main subject, with reference to Appendix A if necessary. As is apparent from the table of contents, after presenting general theories for highly and slightly rarefied gases and various simple flows, such as unidirectional or quasi-unidirectional flows, and flows around a sphere, the author discusses various subjects: flows induced by temperature fields, which are typical in a rarefied gas; flows with evaporation and condensation; bifurcation of flows in a rarefied gas; and ghost effects in a gas in the continuum limit. In Appendix B, where methods of solution are described, the theoretical background of the direct simulation Monte Carlo method (DSMC method) is explained in a way that can be read by nonmathematicians.
