The question of convergency in integral methods for rarefied gasdynamics is examined through the example of low-speed flow over a sphere. The four-moment solution and the six-moment solution both compare favorably with experimental data for drag and heat transfer over the entire range of gas density. Discrepancy between the two solutions show a maximum of 0.6% in drag coefficient and a difference of the order of Mach number squared in heat transfer.
