5.The cylindrical couette flow of a rarefied gas consisting of charged particles inside walls with arbitrary reflection coefficients Abstract: A kinetic-theory treatment of the cylindrical Couette flow is considered. A generalization of the case of a surface with an arbitrary reflection coefficient that depends on the nature of the surface. In this paper we consider that the reflection coefficients of the inner and outer walls are different. A model kinetic equation of the BGK (Bhatnger–Gross–Krook) type is solved using the method of moments with a two-sided distribution function. The dependence of the velocity and shear stress on the reflection coefficient is obtained. http://rparticle.web-p.cisti.nrc.ca/rparticle/AbstractTemplateServlet?calyLang=eng&journal=cjp&volume=69&year=0&issue=12&msno=p91-212
