Data for Efficient simulation of rarefied gas flow past a particle: A boundary element method for the linearized G13 equations

After validating the method, we obtain the surface profiles of the deviations from the unperturbed state of the traction, heat flux, pressure, temperature, and slip velocity, as well as the drag on the spheroid, observing convergence with the number of elements. Rarefaction phenomena such as temperature jump and polarization, Knudsen effects in the drag, and velocity slippage are predicted. This method opens a new path for investigating other gas non-equilibrium phenomena that can be modelled by the same set of equations, such as thermophoresis, and has application in nano- and microfluidics.<br><br>Data are for rarefied gas flow past spheroids or spheres.
