Shear Driven Micro-Flows of Gaseous Mixtures

چکیده
A mesoscale kinetic-type approach is proposed to solve shear driven micro flows of binary gas mixtures in MEMS. The coupled linear integro-differential equations, which formally describe the flow, are solved using the discrete velocity method. The complicated collision integral term is approximated by the McCormack model. The proposed approach is applied in one and two dimensions, solving the Couette and the driven cavity problems respectively, for two binary gas mixtures (Ne–Ar and He–Xe). Numerical results are presented for a wide range of the rarefaction and for various molar concentrations. It is demonstrated that the formulation is very efficient and can be implemented as an alternative to classical approaches, such as Navier Stokes solvers with slip boundary conditions.

Enhancement of DNA Microarray Hybridization using Shear-Driven microfluidics
Hybridization on microarray slides is a very slow process. The transport of target molecules towards the immobilized probe spots occurs solely by molecular diffusion and as a result, microarray analyses require overnight incubation and are highly inefficient in terms of capture rate and detection limit. To overcome this diffusion limitation, several solutions have already been reported: electro...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Gaseous Microflows by Lattice Boltzmann Method
This work is concerned with application of the Lattice Boltzmznn Method (LBM) to compute flows in micro-geometries. The choice of using LBM for microflow simulation is a good one owing to the fact that it is based on the Boltzmann equation which is valid for the whole range of the Knudsen number. In this work LBM is applied to simulate the pressure driven microchannel flows and micro lid-driven...

Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...
متن کاملSubstance Separation by the Action of a Pulsed Ir Laser Radiation on Gas-mixture Flows through Capillaries
New aspects of substance separation by the laser driven diffusion of gaseous mixtures through capillaries are presented. By using the chopped radiation of a low power CO2 laser, the experimental dependence of the separation coefficient on the pulse frequency in mixtures containing resonant and non-resonant gases was investigated. The induced effects agree with a model in which the number densit...
متن کاملA Quasi One-dimensional Method and Results for Steady Annular/stratified Shear and Gravity Driven Condensing Flows
This paper presents an effective quasi one-dimensional (1-D) computational simulation methodology and some important results for steady annular/stratified (or film wise) internal condensing flows of pure vapor. Though the approach is strictly valid for smooth, laminar vapor/laminar condensate flows, it is also approximately valid for laminar condensate and turbulent vapor which are laminar in t...
