Abstract
The approximate kinetic analysis was carried out for the problem of strong condensation based on conservation equations for molecular fluxes of mass, momentum, and energy within the Knudsen layer. The closing relation was the condition for conservation of condensation flux between the Knudsen layer boundary and the mixing layer. Approximate analytical solution of the problem was obtained in the form of pressure ratio vs. temperature ratio (Mach number as a parameter). The analytical solution demonstrates a good agreement with available simulation data.
