Abstract
We study the cylindrical Couette flow of a rarefied gas between two cylinders in the generalized setup in which the inner of which not only rotates but also slides along its axis. The analysis is based on the numerical solution of the S-model kinetic equation. The influence of ratio of cylinder radiuses, velocities of the inner cylinder and Knudsen number on shear stresses, mass-flow rates as well as macroscopic parameters is investigated in the broad range of Knudsen numbers.
