In this work, the explicit formulations of the Grad's distribution function for 13 moments (G13)-
based gas kinetic flux solver (GKFS) for simulation of flows from the continuum regime to the …

Radiometric phenomena can arise in gas flows in which the local molecular mean free path
is in the same order as the temperature gradient length scale. The forces exerted on …

In this paper, we propose that thermally induced Knudsen forces in a rarefied gas can be
exploited to achieve a tweezer-like mechanism that can be used to trap and grasp a micro …

In the present paper, we consider a number of problems related to nonclassical transport
phenomena in gas flows in regions with membranes. Our simulations focus on complex …

This work explores microcombustion technologies enhanced by plasma-assisted
combustion, focusing on a novel simulation model for a Y-shaped device with a non …

Field emission based microplasma actuators generate highly non-neutral surface
discharges that can be used to heat, pump, and mix the flow through microchannels and …

Size and power are primary limitations on nanosat missions, especially for propulsion,
attitude control, or formation flight. New micropropulsion systems that are smaller, lighter …

Large scale and cost-efficient synthesis of carbon nanostructured materials has garnered
tremendous interest over the last decade owing to their plethora of engineering and bio …

In a rarefied gas, an object placed close to structure of different temperature receives a force.
This phenomenon is caused by the non-uniform temperature distribution in the gas at …

In recent years, some multiscale flow problems, which consist flows in both the continuum
and rarefied regimes, have attracted increasing attention. And it is demanding to investigate …
