A Continuum Description of Rarefied Gas Dynamics (III)--- The Structures of Shock Waves
arXiv:astro-ph/0105348 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.65.036304
Abstract
We use the one-dimensional steady version of the equations derived in paper I to compute the structure of shock waves. The agreement with experiment is good, especially when we retain the experimental value of the Prandtl number adopted in II.
