Direct Methods for Solving the Boltzmann Equation and Study of Nonequilibrium Flows

This book is concerned with the methods of solving the nonlinear Boltz­ mann equation and of investigating its possibilities for describing some aerodynamic and physical problems. This monograph is a sequel to the book ''Numerical direct solutions of the kinetic Boltzmann equation'' (in Russian) which was written with F. G. Tcheremissine and published by the Computing Center of the Russian Academy...
