The effect of a solid boundary on the propagation of thermodynamic disturbances in a rarefied gas

We study the effect of a rigid boundary on the propagation of thermodynamic disturbances in a gas under non-continuum conditions. We consider a semi-infinite setup confined by an infinite planar wall and introduce initial gas disturbances in the form of density and temperature inhomogeneities. The p...
