Abstract

The Monte Carlo method has been used to obtain a numerical solution to the problem of strong evaporation of a monatomic gas in which the molecules are modeled by pseudo-Maxwellian and hard spheres. A comparison with the results of other authors is made. The results agree well with the solution of the problem obtained on the basis of the model Bhatnagar—Gross—Krook kinetic equation.
