Subsonic rarefied gas flow over a rack of flat transverse plates

Parameters of a rarefied gas flow through a rack of flat plates aligned across the flow are studied by means of the joint numerical solution of the Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations. A subsonic flow regime is considered. The changes in flow characteristics are calculated as functions of the free-stream velocity and plate temperature. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 1, pp. 59–67, January–February, 2008.
