A mean free path approach to the micro/nanochannel gas flows

open access: yesAdvances in Aerodynamics, 2020
We investigate the gas flows near to solid surfaces in terms of the local spatial variation in the molecular mean free path (MFP). Molecular dynamics (MD) is the appropriate scientific tool for obtaining molecularly-accurate dynamic information in micro ...

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 ...

Thermo-Elasto-Hydrodynamic Characteristics Analysis of Journal Microbearing Lubricated with Rarefied Gas

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Temperature rise and elastic deformation are unavoidable issues occurring in high-speed gas microbearings due to the dominant small-scale fluid dynamics in rarefied gas flow applications.

A Well-Balanced Unified Gas-Kinetic Scheme for Multicomponent Flows under External Force Field

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The study of the evolution of the atmosphere requires careful consideration of multicomponent gaseous flows under gravity. The gas dynamics under an external force field is usually associated with an intrinsic multiscale nature due to large particle ...

Thermal diffusion segregation of an impurity in a driven granular fluid

open access: yes, 2014
We study segregation of an impurity in a driven granular fluid under two types of \emph{steady} states. In the first state, the granular gas is driven by a stochastic volume force field with a Fourier-type profile while in the second state, the granular ...

A continuum model of gas flows with localized density variations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We discuss the kinetic representation of gases and the derivation of macroscopic equations governing the thermomechanical behavior of a dilute gas viewed at the macroscopic level as a continuous medium.

Study of reflection models of gas molecules on water adsorbed surfaces in high-speed flows

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2020
We consider a Couette flow of a rarefied Ar gas with heat transfer between two wall surfaces and investigate the scattering behavior of gas molecules reflected either at a clean Pt surface or at a surface contaminated with adsorbates.

Thermal Transpiration Flow: Molecular Dynamics Study from Dense to Dilute Gas

open access: yesFluids, 2023
Thermal transpiration flow, a flow from cold to hot, driven by a temperature gradient along a wall under a high Knudsen number condition, was studied using the molecular dynamics method with a two-dimensional channel consisting of infinite parallel ...

Liquid slip over gas nanofilms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We propose the rarefied-gas-cushion model (r-GCM), as an extended version of the gas-cushion model (GCM), to estimate the apparent slip of water flowing over a gas layer trapped at a solid surface.

A Non-Intrusive DSMC-FEM Coupling Method for Two-Dimensional Conjugate Heat Transfer in Rarefied Hypersonic Conditions

open access: yesAerospace
Accurate conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analysis is critical to the thermal management of hypersonic vehicles operating in rarefied environments, where non-equilibrium gas dynamics dominate.
