| Abstract: |
| Considering the general nonlinear Boltzmann equation,a uniform algorithm has been developed to simulate rarified flows at a wide Knudsen number range numerically.The collision term is approximated by BGK model and Shakov model,and two bi-velocity non-dimensionalized reduced distribution functions are introduced.The single tri-velocity model equation is transformed into a bi-velocity differential equation system through integrating weightedly the non-dimensionalized model equation about the third component of molecule velocity.The discrete velocity ordinate method associated with Gauss-Hermite quadrature and orthogonal polynomial quadrature is used to eliminate dependency of the reduced model equations on continuous molecule velocity space,then a set of hyperbolic conservative discrete equations with source terms are obtained from phase space to physical space,and a finite difference method related to a second-order upwind TVD scheme is selected to solve them both explicitly and implicitly.A two-dimensional supersonic Ar-gas flow around a cylinder is computed to show the effectivity of algorithm.Moreover,numerical results of two wall reflection models of gas molecules,namely diffuse reflection model and specular reflection model,are compared and analyzed. |
