Rarefied flow separation in microchannel with bends [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Based on an accurate numerical solution of the kinetic equation using well-resolved spatial and velocity grids, the separation of rarefied gas flow in a microchannel with double rectangular bends is investigated over a wide range of Knudsen and Reynolds ...

Numerical simulation of a rarefied gas jet emanating from an ion-optical system of the microthruster [PDF]

open access: yesОмский научный вестник: Серия "Авиационно-ракетное и энергетическое машиностроение"
A jet of ionized rarefied gas escaping from an ion-optical system of a prototype resonator RF-ion thruster into the surrounding space with low background pressure is considered.

A Proposal for Long-Term Missions of Small Lunar Rovers Using an MLI Curtain System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2019
This paper proposes a lunar night survival method for small rovers using an MLI (Multilayer Insulation) curtain system for long-term missions. Until recently, it was difficult to install RHU (Radioisotope Heating Units) or other temperature maintenance ...

A New Gaskinetic Model to Analyze Background Flow Effects on Weak Gaseous Jet Flows from Electric Propulsion Devices

open access: yesAerospace, 2017
Recent work on studying rarefied background and jet flow interactions is reported. A new gaskinetic method is developed to investigate two closely related problems. The first problem is how a collisionless background flow can affect a highly rarefied jet

Rarefied, superorbital flows in an expansion tube [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat & Fluid Flow, 2004
A free-piston driven expansion tube [X1 at the Centre for Hypersonics, University of Queensland] and its instrumentation is described. The facility was used to generate rarefied flows at speeds of approximately 10 km/s. Although the flow in the tube itself was in the continuum regime, rarefied flow conditions were achieved by allowing the flow at the ...

Rarefied Poiseuille Flow in a Circular Tube [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
An isothermal rarefied gas flow through a long circular tube due to longitudinal pressure gradient (a three-dimensional Poiseuille problem) was studied using the linearized Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model kinetic equation over the whole range of the Knudsen ...

A topology optimization method for rarefied gas flows

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
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 ...

Data-driven nonlinear constitutive relations for rarefied flow computations

open access: yesAdvances in Aerodynamics, 2021
To overcome the defects of traditional rarefied numerical methods such as the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and unified Boltzmann equation schemes and extend the covering range of macroscopic equations in high Knudsen number flows, data ...
