Simulation of gas flow in a cometary Knudsen layer
A numerical model of the nonequilibrium innermost coma region in active comets is proposed. The presence of dust grains is neglected for a first approximation. We consider the Knudsen layer adjacent to the phase boundary, where the velocity distribution f
