| Research Abstract |
We investigated the unsteady one-dimensional gas flows caused by a phase transition on the basis of the kinetic theory of gases. Main results are as follows. (1) Starting from the investigation of kinetic boundary-layer, we established a general theory of reciprocity for linearized problems. (2) We showed that from a certain class of initial states there occur two expansion waves traveling in the direction opposite to each other, which are separated by a highly rarefied region that evolves into a vacuum. This region is highly non-equilibrium and the temperature is strongly non-isotropic.
