Abstract
We describe a novel domain decomposition method for flows with combined continuum-and rarefied regions. The Navier-Stokes equations used in the continuum regions are solved using a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) that allows for high-order solutions on unstructured meshes in smooth regions of the flow. The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is used to solve the flow in the rarefied regions. We discuss the special coupling procedures needed at the DGFEM-DSMC interface.
