N2 - Conical nozzle flows are studied for Reynolds numbers of 1,230 and 12,300 using different numerical techniques: the direct simulationMonte Carlo method, Navier-Stokes/CFD that accounts for wall temperature jump and velocity slip, and statistical and deterministic approaches of the BGK equation. Detailed comparisons of the efficiency, stability, accuracy, and convergence of the employed numerical techniques provides better understanding of their benefits and deficiencies, and assists in selecting the most appropriate technique for a particular nozzle and flow application. The deterministic solution of the BGK equation was found to be in good agreement with the benchmark DSMC results, while there were some differences observed between the statistical BGK and DSMC. The Navier-Stokes solution differs from DSMC in the boundary layer.
