ACCOUNTING FOR ENERGY ACCOMMODATION IN CALCULATING THE HEAT FLUX FROM A SPHERICAL PARTICLE IN A DIATOMIC GAS
S. A. Savkova and A. A. Yushkanovb UDC 533.72 The problem of calculation of the heat flux from a uniformly heated spherical particle in a diatomic gas is considered with account for the energy-accommodation effect. The results of numerical calculations for the analog of the BGK collision-integral model are presented. aOrel State University, Orel, Russia; bMoscow Pedagogical University, Moscow, Russia.
