By using the example of plane Couette flow between two plates maintained at different temperatures, we present a method of calculating flow profiles for rarefied gases. In the method, generalized hydrodynamic equations are derived from the Boltzmann equation. They are then solved with boundary conditions calculated by taking into consideration the interfacial interaction between the surface and the gas molecule. The nonlinear transport coefficients employed in the generalized hydrodynamic equations are obtained from the Boltzmann equation by means of the modified-moment method. The profiles calculated are in agreement with the Liu–Lees theory as long as the boundary values are in agreement. It is found that the viscous-heating effect has a significant influence on the temperature and velocity profiles. The nonlinearity of transport coefficients also has significant effects on the profiles as the Knudsen and Mach numbers increase.

AbstractThe generation, redistribution and, importantly, conservation of vorticity and circulation is studied for incompressible Newtonian fluids in planar and axisymmetric geometries. A generalised formulation of the vorticity at the interface between two fluids for both no-slip and stress-free conditions is presented. Illustrative examples are provided for planar Couette flow, Poiseuille flow, the spin-up of a circular cylinder, and a cylinder below a free surface. For the last example, it is shown that, although large imbalances between positive and negative vorticity appear in the wake, the balance is found in the vortex sheet representing the stress-free surface.
