The continuous and statistical modeling of the Taylor-Couette flow of rarefied viscous gas with suddenly wall temperature change

The cylindrical Pirani gauge sensitivity under different conditions is studied in our previous paper. We are modeled the Pirani gauge as cylindrical Couette flow – one dimensional axis symmetrical problem by using a statistical method – Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations numerical solving. The purpose of this article is to study the cylindrical two-dimensional Taylor-Couette flow with finite length of rarefied gas. The suddenly temperature change of the inner cylinder wall (the fiber) is used to modeling the boundary conditions. The finite volume method and statistical modeling is used to study this problem. This paper is a continuation of our previous work which we extend the study using the NSF model and its numerical solution to assess the applicability of the obtained results. The state of the gas is studied over a long time period close to establishing a steady state in the previous work, while in this paper is studied the initial moment of occurrence and reflection of the wave from the other cylinder. The realization of such conditions is difficult technically feasible in some cases, but their set in mathematical model gives more opportunities to study the stability in the gaseous medium between the cylinders.
