Differences between Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) slip/jump solutions and direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) computations are highlighted for a micro lid-driven cavity problem. The results indicate a need for better modelling techniques which at the same time retain low computational cost of NSF models. We also highlight the fact that many micro-flows that have been considered are simple planar...

The adoption and adaptation of enclosures in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of sub-Saharan Africa is driven and sustained by a combination of factors. However, reviews indicate that these factors cannot be generalized, as they tend to be case specific. A study was therefore conducted to explore the history and reasons for enclosure establishment in Chepareria, a formerly degraded communal ra...

It is known that an increased flow rate can be achieved in channel flows when smooth walls are replaced by superhydrophobic surfaces. This reduces friction and increases the flux for a given driving force. Applications include thermal management microelectronics, where competition between convective conductive resistance must accounted order to evaluate any advantages of these Of particular int...
