Interaction of rigid body motion and rarefied gas dynamics based on the BGK model

In this paper we present simulations of moving rigid bodies immersed in a rarefied gas. The rarefied gas is simulated by solving the Bhatnager-Gross-Krook (BGK) model for the Boltzmann equation. The Newton-Euler equations are solved to simulate the rigid body motion. The force and the torque on the...
