Analysis of the Moment Method and the Discrete Velocity Method in Modeling Non-Equilibrium Rarefied Gas Flows: A Comparative Study

In the present study, the performance of the moment method, in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency, was evaluated at both the macro- and microscopic levels. Three different types of non-equilibrium gas flows, including the force-driven Poiseuille flow, lid-driven and thermally induced cav...
