The Half-Range Moment Method in Harmonically Oscillating Rarefied Gas Flows
The formulation of the half-range moment method (HRMM), well defined in steady rarefied gas flows, is extended to linear oscillatory rarefied gas flows, driven by oscillating boundaries.

Measurement of low-pressure Knudsen force with deflection approximation for gas detection
In this paper, experimental examinations are done to evaluate the thermal Knudsen force in Knudsen gauge at low-pressure condition. This work has focused on the simple technique to visibly observe the induced Knudsen force as main parameter which could ...

Understanding of Thermal Conductance of Thin Gas Layers
We studied heat conductions in a thin gas layer at micro- and nanoscales between two straight walls by atomistic modeling. Since the Knudsen number is high while the gas may be not really rarefied, we use the generalized Enskog-Monte-Carlo method (GEMC ...

A Discrete-Ordinates Solution for the Strong Evaporation Problem in Rarefied Gas Dynamics
In this work we solve the nonlinear strong evaporation problem in rarefied gas dynamics. The analysis is based on the BGK model, with three dimensional velocity vector, derived from the Boltzmann equation. We present the complete development of a closed

EFFECT OF VISCOUS HEAT GENERATION ON TEMPERATURE OF RAREFIED GAS MICROFLOWS DRIVEN BY MOVING SURFACE [PDF]
Good understanding of the gas flow under rarefied conditions is important for designing the micro-electro-mechanical systems. The Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations with the slip and jump conditions can capture the rarefied gas flows in the slip regime.

Acceleration Waves in Rational Extended Thermodynamics of Rarefied Monatomic Gases
Rational Extended Thermodynamics theories with different number of moments are usually introduced to study non-equilibrium phenomena in rarefied gases. Here, we use them to describe one-dimensional acceleration waves in a rarefied monatomic gas.
