One is the finite difference method in terms of the mean free path technique, and the other is the direct-simulation Monte-Carlo method which deals with a large number of simulated molecules simultaneously. Couette flow, heat transfer between parallel plates and between two concentric cylinders are investigated. Furthermore, applicability of these two methods is discussed.}, pages = {15--27}, title = {Numerical Approaches to Rarefied Gas Dynamics}, volume = {6}, year = {1981} }
