Direct simulation Monte Carlo of gaseous flow in micro-channel

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20002419

The paper presents numerical results for two-dimensional flow characteristics in micro-channel. The numerical methodology is based on Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC). In this method, the molecules are sampled by using probability function and a random number generator. The model is validated by comparing the friction factor, slip velocity, and pressure distribution along the channel for the case of low Knudsen number (Kn) where exact analytical results are available. The method is used to obtain velocity profile, pressure distribution and friction factor for a range of Kn in the transition and slip flow regimes and is compared with available experimental results.
