The high-speed rarefied gas flow simulation is essential for the aerothermodynamic design of high-altitude vehicles. Recently, the Quasi-Gas Dynamic (QGD) equations have been implemented in OpenFOAM as a CFD solver named QGDFoam. In computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the accuracy of the prediction of the surface quantities depends on the slip and jump boundary conditions applied to the surfaces. In the present work, various first-order and second-order slip and jump boundary conditions have been numerically implemented into the solver QGDFoam in OpenFOAM to obtain a completed solver for simulating the rarefied gas flows. It then captures the surface quantities of the gas flows, such as the surface gas pressure, the slip velocity, and surface gas temperature. This completed solver is validated for the sharp-leading-edge wedge, the compression ramp, and the NACA 0012 micro-airfoil cases. Using the QGD model with the slip and jump conditions extends its application and enhances it to simulate high-speed rarefied gas flows. The simulation results show that the slip and jump conditions have been successfully employed with the QGD equations and give good results for predicting the surface quantities compared with the DSMC data.
