Simulation of transport phenomena in conditions far from thermodynamic equilibrium via kinetic theory with applications in vacuum technology and MEMS
Abstract
Non equilibrium transport phenomena are examined via the kinetic theory of gases. In low pressure/dimensionality systems the particulate nature of the gas must be taken into account, greatly increasing the computational effort. The distribution of particles in time physical and molecular velocity space is described by the Boltzmann equation or an appropriate kinetic model. The Discrete Velocity Method (DVM) and the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) are applied here in the whole range of the Knudsen number. The interaction of gases with solid surfaces is considered by the Cercignani-Lampis boundary conditions. Their non linear form is applied on heat transfer problems for the first time while the linearized form is employed for flow and heat transfer problems. A comparison with relevant experiments leads to surface characterization. Non-linear heat conduction is studied for a wide range of temperature differences by the Shakhov kinetic model. Results on heat flux, temperature and den ...
