The motivation of the current paper is to provide a detailed review of crucial topics in micro-
and nanoscale gas flows, ie, velocity slip and temperature jump phenomena and their …

Fluidic channels at atomic scales regulate cellular trafficking and molecular filtration across
membranes, and thus play crucial roles in the functioning of living systems. However …

In part 14 of the tutorial series “Acoustofluidics–exploiting ultrasonic standing wave forces
and acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems for cell and particle manipulation”, we …

With the fast development of acoustic and multiphase microfluidics in recent years,
oscillating bubbles have drawn more-and-more attention due to their great potential in …

The Knudsen pump (KP) is a kind of micro-pump that can form thermally induced flows
induced by temperature fields in rarefied gas environments. It has the advantages of having …

A thermal lattice Boltzmann model is constructed on the basis of the ellipsoidal statistical
Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (ES-BGK) collision operator via the Hermite moment …

We present an efficient particle simulation method for the Boltzmann transport equation
based on the low-variance deviational simulation Monte Carlo approach to the variable-hard …

The Navier–Stokes–Fourier (NSF) equations are shown to be strictly applicable only to
incompressible flows, namely those involving fluids whose density is uniform throughout …

Overcoming friction while generating useful torque is a challenge for micro engines. Here
we report the development of a microscale engine that utilizes transition boiling as a mode …

Thermal transpiration is the macroscopic movement induced in a rarefied gas by a
temperature gradient. The gas moves from the lower to the higher temperature zone. An …
