Abstract: The unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) provides a framework for simulating multiscale transport with the updates of both gas distribution function and macroscopic flow variables on the cell size and time step scales. The multiscale dynamics in UGKS is achieved through the coupled particle transport and collision in the particle evolution process within a time step. In this paper, under the UGKS framework, we propose an efficient multiscale unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) method. The gas dynamics in UGKWP method is described by the individual particle movement coupled with the evolution of the probability density function (PDF). During a time step, the trajectories of simulation particles are tracked until collision happens, and the post-collision particles are evolved collectively through the evolution of the corresponding distribution function. The evolution of simulation particles and distribution function is guided by evolution of macroscopic variables. The two descriptions on a gas particle, i.e. wave and particle, switch dynamically with time. A new concept of multiscale multi-efficiency preserving (MMP) method is introduced, and the UGKWP method is shown to be an MMP scheme. The UGKWP method is specially efficient for hypersonic flow simulation in all regimes in comparison with the wave-type discrete ordinate methods, and presents a much lower stochastic noise in the continuum flow regime in comparison with the particle-based Monte Carlo methods. Numerical tests for flows over a wide range of Mach and Knudsen numbers are presented. The examples include mainly the hypersonic flow passing a circular cylinder at Mach numbers $20$ and $30$ and Knudsen numbers $1$ and $10^{-4}$, low speed lid-driven cavity flow, and laminar boundary layer. These results validate the accuracy, efficiency, and multiscale property of UGKWP method.
