An improved discrete unified gas kinetic scheme for simulating compressible natural convection flows

Discrete unified gas-kinetic scheme (DUGKS) has been developed recently as a general method for simulating flows at all Knudsen numbers. In this study, we extend DUGKS to simulate fully compressible thermal flows. We introduce a source term to the Boltzmann equation with the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (B...
