مستخلص: In 1963, Harold Grad, [3], [4], emphasized the crucial role of singular layers for the study of the relationship between the Boltzmann equation in the kinetic theory and the fluid dynamics. The present article is to illustrate by examples the Green's function approach for the study the singular layers for the Boltzmann equation. The singular layers connect regions where the Boltzmann solution is far from thermal equilibrium to the fluid-like regions. In the fluid-like regions the Boltzmann solution is close to thermal equilibrium and can be accurately approximated by finite dimensional fluid dynamics equations. Truly infinite dimensional kinetic waves and basically finite dimensional fluid-like waves are bridged through singular layers. There are three main types of singular layers: boundary layers, initial layers and shock layers. Natural physical setups often involve coupling of different types of singular layer. We focus on several basic physical setups to illustrate the rich phenomena resulting from these couplings. The analysis of coupling of singular layers demands strong, quantitative methodologies. This article is based on the Harold Grad Lecture the author delivered at the 32th International Symposium on Rarefied Gas Dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
