This self-contained work is an up-to-date treatment of the basic theory
of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications. Recent progress
in the field has greatly enhanced the original theory and stimulated
interesting and critical gas dynamic phenomena and problems. This book,
unique in the literature, presents working knowledge, theory,
techniques, and typical phenomena in rarefied gases for theoretical
development and applications.
Molecular Gas Dynamics is useful for those working in different
communities where kinetic theory or fluid dynamics is important:
graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in theoretical
physics, applied mathematics, and various branches of engineering. The
work may be used as a self-study reference or as a textbook in
graduate-level courses on fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, kinetic theory,
molecular or rarefied gas dynamics, microflows, and applied mathematics.
