Gas Dynamics and Kinetic Theory

This cluster of papers focuses on mathematical and computational aspects of collisional kinetic theory, with applications to rarefied gas flows, hypersonic aerothermodynamics, and thermal protection systems. It covers topics such as the Boltzmann equation, numerical methods for kinetic equations, gas-surface interactions, microflows, and ablation properties of materials.
