Rarefied gas flow through a slit.
A rarefied gas flow through a slit in an infinite plane wall, induced by a small pressure difference across the slit, is studied on the basis of the kinetic theory. The system of integral equations for the macroscopic variables (the velocity, density, and temperature of the gas), derived from the linearized Boltzmann–Krook–Welander equation with the ...

DSMC–LBM mapping scheme for rarefied and non-rarefied gas flows [PDF]
We present the formulation of a kinetic mapping scheme between the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) which is at the basis of the hybrid model used to couple the two methods in view of efficiently and accurately simulate isothermal flows characterized by variable rarefaction effects. Owing to the kinetic nature

Planetesimals in rarefied gas: wind erosion in slip flow [PDF]
ABSTRACT A planetesimal moves through the gas of its protoplanetary disc where it experiences a head wind. Though the ambient pressure is low, this wind can erode and ultimately destroy the planetesimal if the flow is strong enough. For the first time, we observe wind erosion in ground-based and microgravity experiments at pressures ...

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 ...

Experimental Study on Gas Flow in a Rough Microchannel
The shape and relative roughness of a rough surface have an important influence on microscale flow and heat transfer. In this study, a rectangular silicon microchannel (0.8 mm width and 11.9 μm height) with a large width-depth ratio is fabricated by the ...

Aerodynamic optimization of NACA 0012 airfoils with attached Gurney flap in the rarefied gas flow
The aerodynamic optimization of a Gurney flap attached to the NACA 0012 airfoil in rarefied gas flow is studied in this study. In order to investigate the effects of Gurney flap geometry (height, mounting angle, and mounting location) and angle of attack
