This work presents the concepts, methods and applications of kinetic theory to rarefied gas dynamics. After introducing the basic tools, Carlo Cercignani treats problems in plane geometry using all the approximation techniques. He later uses these same techniques to deal with two- and three-dimensional problems. The models include not only monatomic but also polyatomic gases, mixtures, chemical reactions. A special chapter is devoted to evaporation and condensation phenomena. Each section is accompanied by helpful problems. The book can be used in a range of graduate courses in aerospace engineering or applied mathematics.

Reviews for Rarefied Gas Dynamics: From Basic Concepts to Actual Calculations

'... this book is certainly by far the best available in its category, be it for the clarity of exposition or for the vast amount of literature which is browsed ... Who should consult this book with profit? Everybody interested in modelling or simulations of rarefied flows ...'. Cedric Villani, European Journal of Mechanics B Fluids '... fills a gap in the existing literature ... this excellent book is clear and well written.' Mario Pulvirenti, Rarefied Gas Dynamics '... a very informative and excellently written book with comprehensive cross referencing ... a recommended read.' J. K. Harvey, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
