Rarefied gas flows through two-dimensional micro channels are studied numerically for the performance optimization of a nanomembrane-based Knudsen compressor. The effects of the wall temperature distributions on the thermal transpiration flow patterns are examined. The flow has a pumping effect, and the mass flow rates through the channel are calculated. The results show that a steady one-way flow is induced for a wide range of the Knudsen number. The DSMC(direct simulation Monte Carlo) method with VHS(variable hard sphere) model and NTC(no time counter) techniques has been applied in this work to obtain numerical solutions.

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.

The heat transfer characteristics of rarefied flows in a micro-actuator are studied numerically. The effect of Knudsen number (Kn) on the heat transfer of the micro-actuator flows is also examined. The Kn based on gas density and characteristic dimension is varied from near-continuum to highly rarefied conditions. Direct simulation Monte Carlo calculations have been performed to estimate the performance of the micro-actuator. The results show that the magnitude of the temperature jump at the wall increases with Kn. Also, the heat transfer to the isothermal wall is found to increase significantly with Kn.

A critical element that drives Knudsen compressor Is the thermal transpiration membrane. The membranes are based on aerosol or machined aerogel. The aerogel is modeled as a single micro flow channel.

대표적인 단일추진제로 사용되는 하이드라진은 극독성의 물질이므로 인체에 유해할 뿐만 아니라 취급이 매우 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이를 대체하고자 최근에는 무독성의 친환경 추진제 개발 연구가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그중에서 스웨덴 우주공사(Swedish Space Corporation)에서 개발한 ammonium dinitramide(ADN) 계열 추진제는 하이드라진보다 우수한 성능을 가질 뿐만 아니라 우주환경에서의 성능검증을 통해 현재 상용화 단계에 이르렀다. 한편, 추력기 노즐에서 배출된 배기가스는 고진공의 우주 공간에서 확산하는 동안 위성체와 충돌할 경우 열 하중 및 표면 오염 등을 발생시켜 위성체의 성능과 수명을 감소시킬 수 있다. 하지만 친환경 추진제 추력기의 배기가스가 위성체에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 아직까지 본격적으로 수행되지는 않은 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 직접모사법을 이용하여 ADN 계열 친환경 추진제에 대해 우주 공간에서의 배기가스 거동을 해석하고 하이드라진과 비교하였다. 이를 통해 향후 ADN 계열 친환경 추진제를 사용하는 위성체 개발 시 설계 검증자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The present research proposes a pressure based approach along with Langmuir slip condition for predicting microscale fluid flows. Using this method, gaseous slip flows in 2 -dimensional microchannels are numerically investigated. Compared to the DSMC simulation, statistical errors could be avoided and computing time is much less than that of the aforementioned molecular approach. Maxwell slip boundary condition is also studied in this research. These two slip conditions give similar results except for the pressure nonlinearity at high Knudsen number regime. However, Langmuir slip condition seems to be more promising because this does not need to calculate the streamwise velocity gradient accurately and to calibrate the empirical accommodation coefficient. The simulation results show that the proposed method using Langmuir slip condition is an effective tool for predicting compressibility and rarefaction in microscale slip flows.

우주비행체는 우주공간에서 소형 추력기를 통해 연소가스를 노즐 외부로 배출시킴으로써 궤도보정 및 자세제어에 필요한 반작용 모멘텀을 발생시킨다. 이때 배출된 배기가스가 우주비행체의 표면과 충돌하면서 발생된 교란 힘 및 교란토크, 열 부하, 표면 오염 등은 우주비행체의 수명 단축 및 기능저하를 유발시킬 수 있으므로 추력기 배기가스 거동에 관한 예측은 우주비행체 설계시 매우 중요한 절차라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우주비행체의 자세제어용 추력기로 사용되는 10 N급 이원추진제 추력기의 배기가스 거동을 수치적으로 해석함으로써 우주비행체 설계에 필요한 핵심기술을 확보하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 모노메틸하이드라진(MMH) 연료와 사산화이질소(NTO) 산화제의 화학평형반응과 추력기 노즐 내부 연속체 영역 계산을 수행한 후 배기가스 해석을 위한 직접모사법(DSMC)의 유입조건으로 적용하였다. 해석 결과, 이원추진제 추력기 노즐 부근에서 배기가스의 화학종 박리와 같은 비평형 팽창과 후방유동의 특성들을 예측할 수 있었다.

Pumping performances of a helical molecular drag dump(MDP) and of a radial MDPs are numerically analyzed by using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. A helical- and radial-MDP have rotating pumping channels cut on a cylinder and on a disk, respectively. For a helical MDP, the present results agree quantitatively with the previously known numerical results. For radial MDPs, both of the Type 1 (having pumping channels cut on the stationary disk) and of the Type 2 (having pumping channels cut on the rotating disk) are analyzed to predict their performances for various parameters, i.e., the radius of curvature center of the channel wall, the depth of the channel, the clearance between housing and disk, and the rotating speed. The results show that the performance of the Type 2 is superior to that of the Type 1, and that for all types the pumping efficiency decreases as the clearance increases. Also, the radial type MDP has larger leakage losses in the direction of pumping channel than does the helical one.

This paper is the logical follow-up of four papers by the author on the subject "aerodynamics in Mars atmosphere". The aim of the papers was to evaluate the influence of two Mars atmosphere models (NASA Glenn and GRAM-2001) on aerodynamics of a capsule (Pathfinder) entering the Mars atmosphere and also to verify the feasibility of evaluating experimentally the ambient density and the ambient pressure by means of the methods by McLaughlin and Cassanto respectively, therefore to correct the values provided by the models. The study was carried out computationally by means of: i) a code integrating the equations of dynamics of an entry capsule for the computation of the trajectories, ii) two Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) codes for the solution of the 2-D, axial-symmetric and 3-D flow fields around the capsule in the altitude interval 50-100 km. The computations verified that the entry trajectories of Pathfinder from the two models, in terms of the Mach, Reynolds and Knudsen numbers, were very different. The aim of the present paper is to continue this study, considering other aerodynamic problems and then to provide a contribution to a long series of papers on the subject "aerodynamics in Mars atmosphere". More specifically, the present paper evaluated and quantified the effects from the two models of: i) chemical reactions on aerodynamic quantities in the shock layer, ii) surface temperature, therefore of the contribution of the re-emitted molecules, on local (pressure, skin friction, etc.) and on global (drag) quantities, iii) surface recombination reactions (catalyticity) on heat flux. The results verified that the models heavily influence the flow field (as per the shock wave structure) but, apart from the surface recombination reactions, the effects of the different conditions on aerodynamics of the capsule are negligible for both models and confirmed what already found in the previous paper that, because of the higher values of density from the NASA Glenn model, the effects on aerodynamics of a entry capsule are stronger than those computed by the GRAM-2001 model.
