Kinetic and Quantum Phenomena in Expanding Gas Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the results of numerical studies of rotational-translational nonequilibrium, kinetic, and diffusive processes in spherical expanding gas flows. Computations are made using the direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method [1, 2] and the solver [3] of the Navier-Stokes equations in terms of classical and quantum concepts [3-7], at the Knudsen numbers Kn* from 0.0015 to 0.03 and pressure ratios P = p0/pa from 100 to 10,000.

Effects of coupling on turbulent gas-particle boundary layer flows at borderline volume fractions using kinetic theory
This study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully Eulerian two-fluid model. The closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. Gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by MLH theory. Resultsof one-way and...
