Abstract The direct simulation Monte Carlo method based on ab initio potentials is applied to
model transport phenomena in binary, ternary and quaternary mixtures of noble gases. To …

The heat transfer in a rarefied gas between two solid surfaces moving relative to each other
was studied. The problem was solved for nitrogen using the event-driven molecular …

The kinetic model introduced by Kosuge (2009) is implemented to solve heat transfer
through rarefied binary gas mixtures confined between two parallel plates maintained at …

The problem about the unsteady outflow of a mixture of gases into a vacuum, periodically
interrupted by bodies moving toward the jet, was studied. This problem was considered as a …

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 …

The sublimation and deposition behaviors of the Helium-Argon mixture is analyzed
numerically in the temperature range where Helium is only in gaseous state while Argon can …

The fluid-flow and heat transfer in a buoyancy-driven microcavity heated from below are
numerically investigated. In spite of the fact that microcavities are widely used in …

A gas flow can be induced between two interdigitated arrays of thin vanes, when one of the
arrays is uniformly heated or cooled. Sharply curved isotherms near the vane edges leads to …

In the present contribution attention is focused to extend the application of multifluid
descriptions to rarefied conditions for the first time. To this aim, a multifluid Maxwell model …

The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method is employed to solve the “1D-Sod-Shock tube
problem”, a special case of Riemann problems, for gas mixtures. Initially, two different gas …
