Numerical simulations of rarefied gas flows are generally made with DSMC methods. Up to
a recent period, deterministic numerical methods based on a discretization of the Boltzmann …

Unsteady flows of a rarefied gas in a full space caused by an oscillation of an infinitely wide
plate in its normal direction are investigated numerically on the basis of the Bhatnagar …

For accurate simulations of rarefied gas flows around moving obstacles, we propose a cut
cell method on Cartesian grids: it allows exact conservation and accurate treatment of …

Devices involved in engineering applications, such as vacuum pumps or MEMS, may be
made of several moving parts. This raise the issue of the simulation of rarefied gas flow …

The overall goal of the work is to simulate rarefied flows inside geometries with moving
boundaries. The behavior of a rarefied flow is characterized through the Knudsen …

Radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) are widely used for contact
actuators and capacitive switches. These devices typically consist of a metallic membrane …

A Cartesian grid-based unified gas kinetic scheme is developed. In this approach, any
oriented boundary in a Cartesian grid is represented by many directional boundary points …

Ce travail est dédié à la simulation d'écoulements multidimensionnels de gaz raréfiés dans
un domaine où l'interface avec le solide est mobile. Le comportement du gaz est modélisé …

Predicting unsteady flows and aerodynamic forces for large displacement motion of
microstructures requires transient solution of Boltzmann equation with moving boundaries …

Suscitée par l'impact des activités humaines sur l'environnement et sans jamais être
réellement une notion explicitement consacrée par le droit, l'éco-citoyenneté transparaît au …
