Bourgat, Jean-François; Le Tallec, Patrick; Tidriri, Moulay D. Coupling Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes equations by friction. (English) Zbl 0860.76080 J. Comput. Phys. 127, No. 2, 227-245 (1996). Summary: We introduce and validate a coupled Navier-Stokes Boltzmann approach for the calculation of hypersonic rarefied flows around manoeuvering vehicles. The proposed strategy uses locally a kinetic model in the boundary layer coupled through wall friction forces to a global Navier-Stokes solver. Different numerical experiments illustrate the potentialities of the method.
