Abstract

For the purpose of taking the internal degrees of freedom into account, threetemperature approximating model equations, which are a generalization of the R- and ES–BGKmodels, are proposed for a diatomic gas. The surface pressure, friction, and heat transfer coefficients are compared with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) solution in the problem of flow past a cylinder in the super- and hypersonic flow regimes. The dependence of the surface coefficients on the rotational collision number is analyzed.
