Abstract
The equations which govern a number of models for flows between rotating cy linders at different Knudsen numbers are solved numerically by means of the direct simulation Monte Carlo method (DSMCM) to show their limitations. Th e DSMC code was firstly tested and validated against existing experimental data and then its results represented the reference data base for evaluatin g the characteristics of each model.
