Development of an Information Preservation Method for Subsonic, Micro-Scale Gas Flows
نویسنده
چکیده
The development of an information preservation (IP) method is described in this paper. This effort is aimed at increasing our understanding of rarefied gas behavior of subsonic, micro-scale gas flows. The IP method preserves macroscopic information of the flow in the simulated particles. It applies conservation laws for binary collisions of the particles following the movement in the DSMC method, and updates the information using the Euler equations. The IP results exhibit very low levels of statistical scatter, which helps apply the method to low speed gas flows. A difficulty in implementing the IP method is also discussed.

Development of an Efficient Particle Approach for Micro-scale Gas Flow Simulations
The micro-scale gas flows are usually low-speed flows and exhibit rarefied gas effects. It is challenging to simulate these flows because traditional CFD method is unable to capture the rarefied gas effects and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is very inefficient for low-speed flows. In this study we combine two techniques to improve the efficiency of the DSMC method. The informa...
متن کاملA Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).
This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Upwind Algorithm at Subsonic Regions in the Solution of PNS Equations
In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...

متن کاملDrag on a Flat Plate in Low-Reynolds-Number Gas Flows
Airflow over a flat plate at zero incidence is investigated as a function of the Reynolds number Re and the Mach number M under subsonic, low-Reynolds-number conditions. The flows are simulated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and the information preservation (IP) method that is a modified DSMC method developed for low-speed rarefied gas flows. Good agreement is obtained be...
