The motivation of the current paper is to provide a detailed review of crucial topics in micro-
and nanoscale gas flows, ie, velocity slip and temperature jump phenomena and their …

Here, a symmetrized and simplified Bernoulli trials (SSBT) scheme based on the
probabilistic approach is introduced to provide less-restricted conditions in choosing …

The collision process is crucial in the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method as it
considers the fundamental aspects of the Boltzmann or Kac stochastic equation. This article …

Here, rarefied thermally driven flow is investigated in two-dimensional equilateral triangular
cavities with different uniform wall temperatures. We used three different solvers, ie, the …

The impetus of this paper is to assess the newly suggested direct simulation Monte Carlo
(DSMC) collision schemes, that is, the “Simplified Bernoulli Trails (SBT)” and “Generalized …

In the present work, the problem of heat conduction through binary mixtures of non-vibrating
polyatomic gases is studied over the whole range of the gas rarefaction in a deterministic …

This study examined rarefied thermally-driven flow in a square cavity (Case 1) and
rectangular bend (Case 2), with various uniform wall temperatures in two dimensions. We …

Some phenomena pertaining to rarefied gases are beyond the reach of traditional fluid
dynamics described, eg, by the Euler or Navier–Stokes–Fourier equations. Therefore we …

This special issue is dedicated to Professor Jason M. Reese, who died suddenly at the early
age of 51 on 8 March 2019. Professor Reese was an internationally renowned Engineering …

In the rarefied gas, thermal creep flows are induced by temperature gradients along the
walls. The Knudsen pumps based on thermal creep flows have great application potential in …
