Statistical simulation of rarefied gas flows in micro-channels
Rarefied gas flows through micro-channels are simulated using particle approaches, named as the information preservation (IP) method and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. In simulating the low speed flows in long micro-channels the DSMC method encounters the problem of large sample size demand and the difficulty of regulating boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet. Some impo...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann simulation of rarefied gas flows in microchannels.
For gas flows in microchannels, slip motion at the solid surface can occur even if the Mach number is negligibly small. Since the Knudsen number of the gas flow in a long microchannel can vary widely and the Navier-Stokes equations are not valid for Knudsen numbers beyond 0.1, an alternative method that can be applicable to continuum, slip and transition flow regimes is highly desirable. The la...
متن کاملMotion of nanoparticles in rarefied gas flows
Abstract. Solar cells have been made from hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films. The films including Si nanoparticles by 3% in the volume fraction have been found to possess good properties. In order to find the method to control this volume fraction, the motion of Si nanoparticles in the rarefied flow of H2 and SiH4 is examined for a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) reactor by use of th...
متن کاملGas-kinetic scheme for rarefied flow simulation
For increasingly rarefied flowfields, the predictions from continuum formulation, such as the Navier–Stokes equations lose accuracy. These inaccuracies are attributed primarily to the linear approximations of the stress and heat flux terms in the Navier– Stokes equations. The inclusion of higher order terms, such as Burnett, or high-order moment equations, could improve the predictive capabilit...
متن کاملAerodynamics of a Spinning Cylinder in Rarefied Gas Flows
Conclusions The present study has investigated the problem of the elastic response of a generic space vehicle with degraded joints. The steppedbeam formulation based on elementary beam theory is employed for extracting modal parameters of a normalized generic space vehicle. Next, the modal superposition principle is used with a low damping value for obtaining the elastic response of the vehicle...
