2.4 Finite-difference Discretization of the Two-Dimensional MBE
We consider a class of model Boltzmann equations of the form
wheref( vrv ,v, t)is the velocity distribution function which depends on space, rv , molecular velocity, vv , and time, t; ν is the collision frequency and f is an N appropriate distribution function depending on the model selected. The number density, macroscopic flow velocity, and temperature of the gas are the first three
moments of the distribution function

where k is the Boltzmann constant and δij is the Kronecker delta. The heat flux
vector q is
The elastic collision frequency is of the form µ
ν =nkT (2.23)
where µ is the viscosity and is assumed to have a temperature dependence µ χ
µ ∞ = (T T∞) (2.24)
Here χ is a constant for a given gas. If we assume the dependence of the viscosity on the temperature as for the Chapmann-Enskog gas of inverse ζ power law, we have 2

χ= ζ + . For Maxwell molecules, ζ =5 then χ =1.; thus the collision
frequency is independent of temperature. The viscosity coefficient µ is related to ∞ the freestream mean free path λ by the relation ∞
In this study we consider two kinetic models for f ; one is the BGK model and the N other is the Shakov model. For the BGK model, we have f equal to the Maxwellian N distribution f : M
For the Shakov model, we have

Here, Pr is the prandtl number and is equal to 3

We note that the derivation of the continuum Navier-Stokes equations from the BGK model or the Shakov model can be obtained using a Chapmann-Enskog procedure.
To illustrate the numerical approach, we describe in detail the relevant equations for two-dimensional problem, for the purpose of reduction in computer storage requirements, the following reduced distribution functions (Chu 1965) are introduced:
z Where L is the reference length, T∞ is the reference temperature. Then, the non-dimensional variables can be defined as follows:

After the process of non-dimensionalization and integrating out the vz dependence in Eq. (2.16) using Eq. (2.28), the single model Boltzmann equation in three space dimensions reduces to the following two simultaneous equations in two
space dimensions and then we neglect the signal "∧ . "

variables (for two-dimensional case). To remove the functional dependency on the velocity space of the equations, the discrete ordinate method [10] is applied. This method, which consists of replacing the integration over velocity space of the distribution function by an appropriate quadrature, requires the values of the distribution function only at certain discrete velocities. The choice of the discrete values of velocity point is dictated by the consideration that our final interest is not in the distribution functions themselves but in the moments. Hence, the macroscopic moments given by integrals over molecular velocity space can be evaluated by the same quadrature. The discrete ordinate method is then applied the set of Eq. (2.36) for the )(vx,vy velocity space. That is the value of g(ξ,η,t,vx,vy) become

macroscopic moment by numerical quadratures. The selection of the discrete velocity point and the range of velocity space in the Newton-Cotes formulas are somewhat
2.5 Numerical Algorithm in solving the MBE
In this section we describe the numerical algorithm for solving the set of Eq.
(2.41). Both the time-accurate explicit method using operator splitting for unsteady flow problems and implicit method using lower-upper (LU) factorization for steady-state calculations are considered. We follow and extend our previous high resolution non-oscillatory scheme for hyperbolic system of conservation laws to include a source term. Some general remarks can be given here. When explicit methods are used to integrate the equations for gσ,δ and hσ,δ, one can decouple the equations and solve them separately. When implicit methods are employed, the equations in general are coupled through the jacobian of the source terms since the source terms are functionals of gσ,δ and hσ,δ. In the following we still keep the equations in vector-matrix form and with the understanding that they can be coupled into scalar form and solved in scalar manner.
Define a uniform computational mesh system (ξj,ηk) with mesh sizes characteristic variables in the local ξ-direction and η-direction respectively as
k
where J (Jj,k Jj1,k) / 2
The time-splitting method described above closely patterns the procedure first proposed by Bird and used in particles schemes, in which free molecular motion and the intermolecular collisions are two independent stages of the algorithm that update the particle position and velocity.
In terms of operator form we have the time integration schemes as
The time integration of the governing equations is carried out on each pair of discrete velocity point(vσ,vδ)with finite difference approximations. Without causing any ambiguity, we omit the subscripts (σ ,δ) in the time integration operators

The class of schemes covered by Eq. (2.54) includes the total variation diminishing (TVD) and essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) scheme. For ω =0 and

ϑ , one has a third-order ENO scheme, denoted as ENO3. a first-order upwind
scheme, denoted as UW1, can be deduced from Eq. (2.54) by setting all the elements

The split jacobian matrices are Λ± =diag{λl±}, where λl± =( λl ± λl )/2 . The
± are defined analogously by Eq. (2.53). for steady-state calculation, the use of Eq. (2.58) and (2.59) can lead to the undesirable results that the steady state depends on the time step ∆t and causes slow convergence. We use the following approximation which still maintains the spatial accuracy:

which can be show to produce the least amount of error among several possible factorizations, particularly when the norms of the source terms are large. The collision source term, S, of the model equation in general is a functional of the reduced distribution functions gσ,δ and hσ,δ. The excat evaluation of the jacobian matrix of the source term, C, is difficult. In this work, we approximate the jacobian of the source term by
With this simplified approximation the equations become diagonal and completely decoupled and the solution procedure becomes rather simple and can be solved scalarly. The numerical experience indicates that such an approximation works well.
Boundary Conditions
To specify the interaction of the molecules with the solid surface, it is assumed that molecules which strike the surface are subsequently emitted with a Maxwellian velocity distribution characterized by the surface temperature T and zero net w tanfential velocity. The two-stream concept is also applied here by defining the half-range distribution functions wall, the wall distribution function is given by

Chapter 3. Preliminary Results and Discussion
3.1 Comparison of MBE Results with DSMC Numerical Method
The computed results using MBE are found to compare well with those using the
DSMC(direct simulation Monte Carlo) in the Near-continuum regime flows .
We using DSMC to simulated for M=2, and Kn=0.0033. In Fig. 3.114, we show the simulated results include, number density, temperature, Mach number, u-velocity, v-velocity, and velocity streamlines.
To compare with MBE simulated results. In Fig. 3.114 (a), an ultra high-density region appears at the very right-hand upper corner due to the moving plate at the top of the cavity, but smaller than MBE simulated results. In Fig. 3.114 (b), there is a temperature increased region in the cavity, the right-hand upper corner which temperature increased obvious as a result of density increased, but smaller than MBE simulated results. In Fig. 3.114 (c), (d), (e), and (f), The MBE simulated results about u-direction and v-direction negative speed also are all bigger slightly than the DSMC simulated results. Therefore, we may discover that smaller secondary eddies have been created at the two bottom corners and the center of the top vortex is moved slightly to right-side and toward the moving plane.
3.2 Driven Cavity Flows
3.2.1 Problem Description and Test Conditions
Fig. 3.1 sketch of the 2D square (L/H=1) driven cavity flow with moving top plate. Initially, we use argon gas at rest inside the cavity and at the same uniform temperature 300K. At time t=0 the upper plate begins moving instantaneously at speed Ma=0.5-2 and Kn=10-0.0033 based on the mean free path of wall temperature and size of the cavity. Table Ⅰ-Ⅲ shows the all cases which we simulates with different parameters .
3.2.2 Grid Convergence Tests
In order to must test the different grid to the result influence. We have used four kind of different grids (Fig. 3.2-5 to show) in the case (M=0.9, Kn=0.01). In Fig. 3.6, we found that the convergence is better while grid size becomes smaller towards the diffuse wall. However, when grid size nearby the diffuse wall is the same, the large number of mesh doesn't result in better convergence. In Fig. 3.7, we compare BGK and the Shakov these two kind of different models. Although in each kind of parameter result comparison all almost, but the Shakov MODEL convergence speed is faster.
3.2.3 Effects of Knudsen Number
In this section, we were observed effects of Mach number in different Knudsen numbers (Kn=10-0.0033). First, we were showed general simulation results include density, temperature, Mach number, u-direction, v-direction and streamline. Second, we were showed property distributions across cavity geometric center for x =0.5m, y=
0 to -1m and y=-0.5m, x=0 to 1m. Third, we showed property distributions near the solid walls. Finally, we were observed the recirculation center position in different cases.

Fig. 3.7 shows that number density contour for Ma=0.5 and Knudsen number 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.0033 respectively. Driven plate takes particles to the right-hand upper corner. An ultra high-density region appears at the very right-hand upper corner due to the moving plate at the top of the cavity. Therefore the particles are larger than initial value. In addition, there are low densities at the left-hand upper corner. In the other series, fixed M=0.9 Fig. 3.12.
Fig. 3.8 show that temperature contour for Ma=0.5, and Knudsen number 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.0033 respectively. We normalize temperature to divide the initial

One of them is the right-hand upper corner which temperature increased as a result of density increased; the other one is left-hand upper corner which temperature increased due to high vertical speed. Therefore, the temperature increase more seriously as Knudsen number decreased. In the other series, fixed M=0.9 is showed in Fig. 3.13.

Because of rarefaction effect caused slip phenomenon and the slip velocity along the solid walls increase with Knudsen number at the same Mach number. We normalize u-velocity to divide the upper plate velocity. The velocity is more and more decrease when Knudsen number increase. In the other series, fixed M=0.9 is showed in Fig.

temperatures region in the cavity. One of them is the right-hand upper corner which temperature increased as a result of density increased; the other one is left-hand upper corner which temperature increased due to high vertical speed. Therefore, the temperature increase more seriously as Knudsen number decreased. In the other series, fixed M=2 is showed in Fig. 3.23.
Fig. 3.19 show that Mach contour for Ma=1.1, and Knudsen number 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.0033 respectively. In the other series, fixed M=2 is showed in Fig. 3.24.

Fig. 3. 51-54 show plots of the velocity streamlines for M=0.5, 0.9, 1.1, and 2, respectively, and in each figure results are provided for various values of Knudsen
number. The corresponding velocity streamlines for M=0.5, 0.9, and 1.1, are given in Fig. 3.51-53. It is seen that while for Kn=10, 1, and 0.1 there is only one vortex, for Kn=0.01, and 0.0033, under the main vortex secondary eddies have been created at the two bottom corners. In Fig. 3.54 , it is seen that while for Kn=1, and 0.1 there is only one vortex, for Kn=10 one additional vortex, for Kn=0.01, and 0.0033 two additional vortices, under the first one, have been developed. As the Knudsen number is increased further, these secondary eddies grow under the first one.
In Fig. 3.55, we show the relative vertical distance (x/L) of the center of the top vortex of the cavity in term of M=0.9, 1.1, and 2 of Kn=10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01.
