A comparative analysis of two approaches (molecular and continuum) for three one-dimensional unsteady-state rarefied gas flows with small Knudsen number is presented. Numerical results have been obtained by using Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method for the molecular and a finite difference method for the continuum approaches, respectively.
