Abstract:
The paper deals with two-dimensional steady flow of rarefied gas which is at rest at infinity
and involved in motion due to absorption at part of boundary. The problem is investigated by
numerical integrating the kinetic model equation. The flow may be treated as a model one for
flow to cryogenic panel at the surface and/or sink flow through a slit The main computable
integral flow characteristic of principal interest is the mass flux through the absorbing part of
the boundary as a function of Knudsen number. This relation is presented for both specular
and diffuse boundary conditions.
