Couette flow of a binary mixture of rigid-sphere gases described by the linearized Boltzmann equation
نویسنده
چکیده
A concise and accurate solution to the problem of plane Couette flow for a binary mixture of rigid-sphere gases described by the linearized Boltzmann equation and general (specular-diffuse) Maxwell boundary conditions for each of the two species of gas particles is developed. An analytical version of the discrete-ordinates method is used to establish the velocity, heat-flow, and shearstress profiles for both types of particles, as well as the particle-flow and heat-flow rates associated with each of the two species. Accurate numerical results are given for the case of a mixture of helium and argon confined between molybdenum and tantalum plates. © 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

متن کاملParticular solutions of the linearized Boltzmann equation for a binary mixture of rigid spheres
Particular solutions that correspond to inhomogeneous driving terms in the linearized Boltzmann equation for the case of a binary mixture of rigid spheres are reported. For flow problems (in a plane channel) driven by pressure, temperature, and density gradients, inhomogeneous terms appear in the Boltzmann equation, and it is for these inhomogeneous terms that the particular solutions are devel...
