چکیده

A numerical method for solving the model Boltzmann equation using arbitrary order polynomials is presented. The S-model is solved by a discrete ordinate method with velocity space discretized with a truncated Hermite polynomial expansion. Physical space is discretized according to the Conservative Flux Approximation scheme with extension to allow non-uniform grid spacing. This approach, which utilizes Legendre polynomials, allows the spatial representation and flux calculation to be of arbitrary order. High order boundary conditions are implemented. Various results are shown to demonstrate the utility and limitations of the method with comparison to solutions of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations and from the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo and Unified Gas Kinetic schemes. The effect of both the velocity space discretization and Knudsen number on the convergence properties of the scheme are also investigated.

A novel technique for a class of singular boundary value problems

In this paper, Lagrange interpolation in Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto nodes is used to develop a procedure for finding discrete and continuous approximate solutions of a singular boundary value problem. At first, a continuous time optimization problem related to the original singular boundary value problem is proposed. Then, using the Chebyshev- Gauss-Lobatto nodes, we convert the continuous time op...
