Abstract
A recently developed accelerated deterministic method of approximation of the Boltzmann collision operator is applied in numerical modelling of the process of shock wave focusing in a rarefied noble gas. The results are compared with the results obtained previously for the same problem with the Boltzmann collision operator evaluated by the Monte Carlo quadrature.
