Hydrodynamics from free-streaming to thermalization and back again
We study the evolution of the Knudsen and Reynolds numbers in (0+1)-dimensionally expanding fluids with Bjorken symmetry for systems whose microscopic mean free path rises more quickly with time than usually assumed.

Onsager's Cross Coupling Effects in Gas Flows Confined to Micro-channels
In rarefied gases, mass and heat transport processes interfere with each other, leading to the mechano-caloric effect and thermo-osmotic effect, which are of interest to both theoretical study and practical applications. We employ the unified gas-kinetic

A hybrid method for hydrodynamic-kinetic flow - Part I -A particle-gridmethod for reducing stochastic noise in kinetic regimes [PDF]
In this work we present a hybrid particle-grid Monte Carlo method for the Boltzmann equation, which is characterized by a significant reduction of the stochastic noise in the kinetic regime.

Analytical solution of pressure driven gas flow and heat transfer in micro-Couette using the Burnett equations [PDF]
In the current work, an incompressible thermal flow in a micro-Couette in the presence of a pressure gradient is investigated utilizing the analytical solution of the Burnett equations with first-order and second-order slip boundary conditions, for the ...

Oxide‐Free Titanium Coatings by Wire Arc Spraying in a Silane‐Doped Inert Atmosphere
A silane‐doped argon atmosphere enables the production of oxide‐free titanium coatings via twin‐wire arc spraying at ambient pressure. This innovative approach eliminates residual oxygen, creating process conditions that prevent oxidation and nitride formation.

A topology optimization method for rarefied gas flows
We construct a topology optimization method for two dimensional rarefied gas flow problems, based on level-set boundary expressions. The degree of rarefaction is expressed by the Knudsen number, which is the ratio of the mean free path and the ...

On the Link between the Langevin Equation and the Coagulation Kernels of Suspended Nanoparticles
The ability of the Langevin equation to predict coagulation kernels in the transition regime (ranging from ballistic to diffusive) is not commonly discussed in the literature, and previous numerical works are lacking a theoretical justification.

A novel workflow for investigating hydride vapor phase epitaxy for GaN bulk crystal growth is proposed. It combines Design of experiments (DoE) with physical simulations of mass transport and crystal growth kinetics, serving as an intermediate step between DoE and experiments.

Analytical solution of axi-symmetrical lattice Boltzmann model for cylindrical Couette flows [PDF]
Analytical solution for the axi-symmetrical lattice Boltzmann model is obtained for the low-Mach number cylindrical Couette flows. In the hydrodynamic limit, the present solution is in excellent agreement with the result of the Navier-Stokes equation ...
