The background state and linearized version of the obtained system is studied and compared with the Navier-Stokes one at arbitrary Knudsen numbers. The WKB solutions for ultrasound in a stratified medium are constructed in explicit form. The problem of a generation by a moving plane in a rarefied gas is explored and used as a test while compared with experiment.9 pages, 2 figuresAtmospheric and Oceanic PhysicsFluid DynamicsPiecewise continuous distribution function method and ultrasound at half spacetext
