Numerical and experimental investigations are peformed for the rarefied gas flows in pumping channels of a helical-type drag pump. Modern turbomolecular pumps include a drag stage in the discharge side, operating roughly in $10^{-2}{\sim}10Torr$. The flow occurring in the pumping channel develops from the molecular transition to slip flow traveling downstream. Two different numerical methods are used in this analysis: the first one is a continuum approach in solving the Navier-Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions, and the second one is a stochastic particle approach through the use of the direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) method. The flow in a pumping channel is three-dimensional(3D), and the main difficulty in modeling a 3D case comes from the rotating frame of reference. Thus, trajectories of particles are no longer straight lines. In the Present DSMC method, trajectories of particles are calculated by integrating a system of differential equations including the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. Our study is the first instance to analyze the rarefied gas flows in rotating frame in the presence of noninertial effects.

A kinetic theory analysis is made of low-speed rarefied gas flows around a flat 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.

A Direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) code is developed, which employs the Monte-Carlo statistical sampling technique to investigate hypersonic rarefied gas flows accompanying chemical reactions. The DSMC method is a numerical simulation technique for analyzing the Boltzmann equation by modeling a real gas flow using a representative set of molecules. Due to the limitations in computational requirements. the present method is applied to a flow around a simple two-dimensional object in exit velocity of 7.6 km/sec at an altitude of 90 km. For the calculation of chemical reactions an air model with five species (O₂, N₂, O, N, NO) and 19 chemical reactions is employed. The simulated result showed various rarefaction effects in the hypersonic flow with chemical reactions.

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.

희박 상태 비행체 외부 및 추진장치 내부 유동이나 MEMS 장치의 기체유동은 높은 열적 비평형성으로 인해 벽면 슬립모델을 필요로 한다. 조절계수와 벽면속도 구배를 바탕으로 하는 Maxwell 조건이 주로 사용되어 왔지만, 조절계수를 자체적으로 정의할 수 없고, 일차 미분 형태로 인해 실제 적용시 수치적 관점에서 효율적이지 못한 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하고자 Langmuir의 벽면-기체입자 흡착이론을 이용한다. 벽면온도, 벽면-기체입자간 물리적 힘의 함수인 조절계수를 유도하고, 입자형태의 차이를 감안할 수 있는 물리적 슬립모델을 개발하여 기존 Maxwell 모델과 비교하였다. 또한 내부, 외부, 열유체 유동에 관한 슬립모델의 해석적 해를 실험값과 비교하여 그 유용성을 확인하였다.

The performance of micro-actuators utilizing radiometric forces are studied numerically. The Knudsen number based on gas density and characteristic dimension is varied from near-continuum to highly rarefied conditions. Direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) calculations have been performed to estimate the performance of the micro-actuators. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere molecular model and no time counter technique are used to simulate the molecular collision kinetics. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Borgnakke-Larsen phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies.

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

본 연구에서는 비정렬 격자를 이용한 병렬화된 3차원 직접모사법을 개발하였다. 모사 입자의 추적에는 선형 형상 함수를 3차원으로 확장하여 적용하였다. 프로그램에서는 효율적인 병렬계산을 위하여 모사 입자의 수에 기초한 영역 재분할 방식을 이용하여 프로세서간의 작업 균형을 유지하였다. 밀도 차가 큰 두 개 이상의 유동이 동시에 존재할 경우를 효과적으로 모사하기 위해서 입자에 가중치를 적용하는 기법을 도입하였다. 프로그램의 검증을 위해서 3차원 삼각 날개 유동을 해석하여 실험치나 다른 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 고도 100km의 희박한 환경헤서 우주발사체 탑재부 주의 유동을 해석하여 노즐 전방으로 고온의 풀룸이 역류하여 비행체 표면에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 가능성을 타진하였다.

The lattice Boltzmann (LB) method has been used to simulate rarefied gas flows in a micro-system as an alternative tool. However, previous results were mainly focused on a simple geometry with flat walls because the LB method is modeled on uniform Cartesian lattices. When previous boundary conditions for the microflows are applied to curved walls, the use of them requires approximation of the curved boundary by a series of stair steps, and introduces additional errors. For macroflows, no-slip curved wall boundary treatments have been developed remarkably in order to overcome these limits. However, the investigations for the slip curved wall boundary have rarely been performed for microflows. In this work, a curved boundary treatment of the LB method for a slip flow has been introduced. The results of the LB method for 2D microchannel and 3D microtube flows are in excellent agreement with the analytical solutions.

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.
