The study of nonlinear gas transport in rarefied condition or associated with the microscale length of the geometry has emerged as an interesting topic in recent years. Along with the DSMC method, several fluid dynamic models that come under the general category of the moment method or the Chapman-Enskog method have been used for this type of problem. In the present study, on the basis of Eu's generalized hydrodynamics, computational models for diatomic gases are developed. The rotational nonequilibrium effect is included by introducing excess normal stress associated with the bulk viscosity of the gas. The new models are applied to study the one-dimensional shock structure and the multi-dimensional rarefied hypersonic flow about a blunt body. The results indicate that the bulk viscosity plays a considerable role in fundamental flow problems such as the shock structure and shear flow. An excellent agreement with experiment is observed for the inverse shock density thickness.

An expression for the vibrational frequency of diatomic molecular is obtained by using molecular gas temperature T and molecular gas mean-free path λ. And when λ/T →2.59, beca use of the damped vibration, a diatomic molecular gas is Impeded about transportation. If transfortation is not attained with this condition, rectilinear motion of a diatomic molecular gas can't maintain for the equilibrium state.

The study of nonlinear gas transport in rarefied condition or associated with the microscale length of the geometry has emerged as an interesting topic in recent years. Along with the DSMC method, several fluid dynamic models that come under the general category of the moment method or the Chapman-Enskog method have been used for this type of problem. In the present study, on the basis of Eu's generalized hydrodynamics, a computational model for diatomic gases is proposed. The preliminary result indicates that the bulk viscosity plays a considerable role in fundamental flow problems such as the shock structure and shear flow. The general properties of the constitutive equations are obtained through a simple mathematical analysis. With an iterative computational algorithm of the constitutive equations, numerical solutions for the multi-dimensional problem can be obtained.
