Low-speed gas flows around a micro-scale flat plate are investigated using a kinetic theory analysis. The Boltzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the Discrete Ordinate method. Calculations are made for flows around a 5% flat plate with a finite length of 20 microns. The results are compared with those from the Information Preservation method and a continuum approach with slip boundary conditions. It is shown that three different approaches predict a similar basic flow patterns, while the results from the present method are more accurate than those from the other two methods in details.

Consumption of the fuel on the satellite operating in low earth orbit, is increased due to the air resistance and the amount of increase makes the satellite lifetime decrease or the satellite mass risen. Therefore the prediction of drag force of the satellite is important. In the paper, drag force and drag coefficient analysis of the parabolic antenna satellite in low earth orbit using direct simulation monte carlo method (DSMC) is conducted according to the mission altitude and angle of attack. To verify the DSMC simulated rarefied air movement, Starshine satellite drag coefficient according to the altitude and gas-surface interaction are compared with the flight data. Finally, from the analysis results, it leads to appropriate satellite drag coefficient for orbit lifetime calculation.

최고진공도 10-10 mbar, 배기속도 2500 L/s를 구현할 대용량 복합 분자펌프(TMP) 설계를 위한 3차원 유동해석을 실시하였다. 진공도가 10-5 mbar 이상이 되는 고진공도에서는 Knudsen 수가 102~107에 이르러 분자간 충돌을 거의 무시할 수 있게 되며, 이때의 유체해석 방법으로서는 통상 희박기체 해석법으로 많이 쓰이는 Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) 방법이나 Continuum fluid에 대한 Navier-Stokes 해석보다, 충돌이 없는 분자의 자유운동을 모사하는 Monte Carlo 방법이 더 적합할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다단계 rotor와 stator로 구성되는 복합분자 내 유동장에 Monte Carlo 해석법을 적용하여 유동해석을 실시하였다. 해석 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 동일한 형상에 대해 Navier-Stokes 해석과 DSMC 해석을 병행하였다. 각각의 수치적 해석에서 공통적으로, TMP의 성능에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 설계변수는 rotor-stator의 날개각임이 확인되었고, 이 설계변수들의 최적값을 다양한 3차원 유동해석을 통해 도출하였다. 해석결과는 펌프설계에 적용되어 펌프 성능시험결과를 통해 확증된다.

The direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) method is applied to investigate steady and unsteady flow fields of a single-stage disk-type drag pump. Two different kinds of pumps are considered: the first one is a rotor-rotor combination, and the second one is a rotor-stator combination. The pumping channels are cut on a rotor and stator. The rotor and stator have 10 Archimedes' spiral blades, respectively. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere model is used as a molecular model, and the no time counter method is employed as a collision sampling technique. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Borgnakke-Larsen phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies. The DSMC results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

A kinetic theory analysis is made of low-speed gas flows around a micro-plate. The Boltzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the discrete ordinate method. The method does not suffer from statistical noise which is common in particle based methods and requires much less amount of computational effort. Calculations are made for flows around a micro-scale flat plate with a finite length of 20 microns. The method is assessed by comparing the results with those from several different methods and available experimental data.

The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is applied to investigate the flow field of a disk-type drag pump. The pumping channels are cut on both sides of a rotating disk. The rotor has 10 Archimedes' spiral blades. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere model is used as a molecular model, and the no time counter method is employed as a collision sampling technique. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Larsen-Borgnakke phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies.

In this study we calculated the flowfields around the axisymmetric bodies in the rarefied gas regime by using the DSMC. A flat-ended cylinder was selected as a representative axisymmetric body and the gas used for all calculations was nitrogen. With zero angle of attack, an increasingly rapid rise in density and the effect of shock waves near the flat-ended face were examined. And on the cylinder surface velocity slips and boundary layers could be observed in the results. Larsen-Borgnakke model was used for the energy redistribution in inelastic collisions. And by considering all internal energy modes, the distributions of translational, rotational and vibrational temperatures were plotted. The calculations were peformed for various Knudsen numbers, Especially the rotational temperatures calculated for a case were compared with the experimental results. And the simulation results show good agreements with the experimental ones.

Experimental investigations are performed for the rarefied gas flows in a disk-type drag pump (DTDP). The pump considered in this paper consists of grooved spiral channel on rotors and planar stators. The flow-metre method is adopted to calculate the pumping speed. Compression ratio and pumping speeds for the nitrogen gas are measured under the inlet pressure range of $0.001{\sim}4$ Torr. The maximum of compression ratio was about 3300 for three-stage DTDP, 1000 for two-stage and 100 for single-stage DTDP at zero throughput. The number of stage influences the pumping speed of DPDT

The BGK equation, which is the kinetic model equation of Boltzmann equation, is solved using FDDO(finite difference with the discrete-ordinate method) to compute the rarefied flow of monatomic gas. Using reduced velocity distribution and discrete ordinate method, the scalar equation is transformed into a system of hyperbolic equations. High resolution ENO(Essentially Non-Oscillatory) scheme based on Harten-Yee's MFA(Modified Flux Approach) method with Strang-type explicit time integration is applied to solve the system equations. The calculated results are well compared with the experimental density field of NACA0012 airfoil, validating the developed computer code. Next. the computed results of circular cylinder flow for various Knudsen numbers are compared with the DSMC(Direct Simulation Monte Carlo) results by Vogenitz et al. The present scheme is found to be useful and efficient far the analysis of two-dimensional rarefied gas flows, especially in the transitional flow regime, when compared with the DSMC method.
