Numerical analyses of the second-order Knudsen layer are carried out on the basis of the linearized Boltzmann equation for hard-sphere molecules under the diffuse reflection boundary condition. The effects of the boundary curvature have been clarified in details, thereby completing the numerical data required up to the second order of the Knudsen number for the asymptotic theory of the Boltzmann equation (the generalized slip-flow theory). A local singularity appears as a result of the expansion at the level of the velocity distribution function, when the curvature exists.
