Review

'... this book is certainly by far the best available in its category, be it for the clarity of exposition or for the vast amount of literature which is browsed ... Who should consult this book with profit? Everybody interested in modelling or simulations of rarefied flows ...'. Cédric Villani, European Journal of Mechanics B Fluids

'... fills a gap in the existing literature ... this excellent book is clear and well written.' Mario Pulvirenti, Rarefied Gas Dynamics

'... a very informative and excellently written book with comprehensive cross referencing ... a recommended read.' J. K. Harvey, Journal of Fluid Mechanics

Book Description

The aim of this book is to present the concepts, methods and applications of kinetic theory to rarefied gas dynamics. Each section is accompanied by problems which are intended to demonstrate the use of the material in the text. For graduate courses in aerospace engineering or applied mathematics.
