A Continuum Description of Rarefied Gas Dynamics (III)--- The Structures of Shock Waves
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.
