This paper presents experimental and three-dimensional numerical study of gaseous slip
flow through diverging microchannel. The measurements are performed for nitrogen gas …

Study of rarefied gas flow in converging and diverging cross sections is crucial to the
development of micro-nozzles and micro-thrusters. In other practical cases too, a …

A set of constitutive relations for the stress tensor and heat flux vector for the hydrodynamic
description of rarefied gas flows is derived in this work. A phase density function consistent …

A kinetic model and corresponding high-order macroscopic model for the accurate
description of rarefied polyatomic gas flows are introduced. The different energy exchange …

A new set of generalized transport equations is derived for higher-order moments which are
generated in evolution equation for stress tensor and heat flux vector in 13-moment …

Rarefied gas flows are highly nonequilibrium flows whose flow physics cannot be discerned
accurately within the framework of the Navier–Stokes equations. The Burnett equations and …

The derivation of analytical equations of non-continuum macroscopic transport phenomena
is underpinned by approximate descriptions of the particle distribution function and is …

An analytical correlation is developed for stagnation-point heat flux on spherical objects
travelling at high velocity which is accurate for conditions ranging from the continuum to the …

Due to complexities of microfluidic devices, not all of the micro-ducts are straight. As a result,
there is a need for utilizing geometric turns and serpentine microchannels. The main …

In the present work, cylindrical Couette flow is analyzed using the recently derived third-
order accurate 13-moment transport equations by transforming them into cylindrical …
