The surface and collisional mechanisms of light-induced drift of a one-component gas in a capillary are investigated theoretically. These mechanisms are based on various interactions of the excited and unexcited particles with the surface of the capillary and with one another. The kinetic equations for the velocity distribution functions of the excited and unexcited particles are solved numerically by the discrete-ordinate method. The velocity profiles and the gas fluxes, averaged over the transverse cross section of the capillar are calculated as a function of the Knudsen number and the ration of the radiative decay rate to the intermolecular collision rate. 14 refs., 5 figs., 3 tabs.
