Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the paper a new way of Kinetic Force Method application for modeling rarefied gas flows is suggested. This way is founded on a kinetic equation for auxiliary two‐particle distribution function of quasiparticle pairs. One‐particle distribution function satisfying the classical Boltzmann equation can be obtained from the auxiliary distribution function by a simple integration. The using of quasiparticle pairs guarantees energy and momentum conservation in the course of the rarefied gas flows modeling automatically. Comparison of the results obtained by Kinetic Force Method and DSMC method is carried out on the examples of numerical simulations of the homogeneous relaxation and the vacuum pump micro flows.
