An Implicit Discrete Adjoint Gas-Kinetic Scheme for Aerodynamic Shape Optimization across all Mach Number Regimes

Hangkong Wu, Yuze Zhu, Yajun Zhu +1

The gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) integrates the characteristics of flux difference scheme (FDS) and flux vector splitting (FVS) scheme, providing high accuracy in smooth regions and st…

A Hybrid Gas-Kinetic Scheme and Discrete Velocity Method for Continuum and Rarefied Flows

Hangkong Wu, Yuze Zhu, Yajun Zhu +1

The gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) provides high computational efficiency and accuracy for continuum flow simulations but is unable to reliably capture rarefaction effects. In contrast,…

A unified gas-kinetic framework from Boltzmann to Navier-Stokes scales

Zhaoli Guo, Kun Xu, Yajun Zhu

Neither molecular kinetics nor continuum fluid dynamics alone is adequate to describe multiscale gas flows across different regimes. Bridging these regimes within a single self-con…
