Abstract

A parallel multiblock implementation of a second-order accurate implicit numerical method based on solving a model kinetic equation is proposed for analyzing three-dimensional rarefied gas flows. The performance of the method is illustrated by computing test examples of gas flows in a circular pipe in a wide range of Knudsen numbers. The convergence rate and scalability of the method are analyzed depending on the number of blocks in the spatial grid.
