Simulation method in the kinetic theory of gases

We develop a method that is based on use of the simulation equation vf/v=vl^–1(f₀–f), where v is the modulus of the molecular velocity andl is the mean free-path length. A number of general properties of the model are clarified and the transition to the limit of a continuous medium is discussed in detail.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 110–115, November–December, 1973.
