Аннотация:The method based on the numerical solution of a model kinetic equation is proposed for
analyzing threedimensional rarefied gas flows. The basic idea behind the method is the use of a sec
ondorder accurate TVD scheme on hybrid unstructured meshes in physical space and a fast implicit
time discretization method without iterations at the upper level. The performance of the method is
illustrated by computing test examples of threedimensional rarefied gas flows in variously shaped
channels in a wide range of Knudsen numbers
