Numerical Analysis of Rarefied Gas Flow through a Periodic System of Channels
摘要
Abstract
Rarefied gas flows through a planar periodic system of rectangular channels (membrane) are analyzed in a wide range of Knudsen numbers. The problem is studied based on the numerical solution of the kinetic equation with the Shakhov S-model collision integral and the Navier–Stokes equations of the compressible medium. The main attention is paid to the calculation of the mass flow rate as a function of the permeability, the relative channel length, and the rarefaction parameter.
