This self-contained book is an up-to-date description of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications. The progress in the field over the last thirty years has greatly enhanced the original theory and has stimulated interesting and critical gas dynamic phenomena and problems. 'Molecular Gas Dynamics', unique in the literature, presents working knowledge, theory, techniques, and typical phenomena in rarefied gases for theoretical development and application.
Basic theory is developed in a systematic way and presented in a form easily applied for practical use. After presenting various simple flows, such as unidirectional or quasi-unidirectional flows, and flows around a sphere, the author discusses additional topics, including: flows induced by temperature fields, which are typical in rarefied gases, flows with evaporation and condensation, bifurcation of flows in rarefied gases, the ghost effect in gases in the continuum limit.
The book 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 in fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, kinetic theory, molecular or rarefied gas dynamics, microflows, and applied mathematics.

Molecular Gas Dynamics originates from lectures and seminars delivered by the author at various universities and institutions worldwide. These materials are supplemented and arranged in a form appropriate to a graduate textbook on molecular gas dynamics, or gas dynamics on the basis of kinetic theory. The book provides an up-to-date description of the basic theory of molecular gas dynamics and its various applications giving interesting and important gas - namic phenomena. The progress of molecular gas dynamics in the last forty years has greatly enhanced the contents of the basic theory and provided inf- mation on various interesting and important gas dynamic problems. This has made it possible to compile a new graduate textbook on molecular gas dyn- ics. The present book re?ects these developments providing working knowledge: theory,techniques,andtypicalphenomenainarare?edgas(low-densityand- cro ?ows), for future theoretical development and applications. The book begins with a brief presentation of the fundamental properties of the Boltzmann equation and a summary of notation used globally in subsequent chapters of the book. A full explanation of the fundamental properties is given in Appendix A. The author hopes that readers of various backgrounds can proceed quickly to the main subject, with reference to Appendix A if necessary.
