Abstract
The Rayleigh problem, a fundamental time-dependent problem of gas kinetics, is studied in the context of the constant collision frequency BGK model. An analytical result, expressed in terms of the stationary solution, is obtained and numerically evaluated. Asymptotic solutions in both the small and large time limit are also presented and compared to results of other theories.
