ALTERNATIVE MODELS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF RAREFIED GAS FLOW IN VACUUM SYSTEMS

Jeerasak Pitakarnnop, Rugkanawan Wongpithayadisai, Suwat Phanakulwijit
Abstract:
An analytical and a numerical studies of rarefied gas effects on the flow through a vacuum pipe at low operating pressure are performed by the use of both continuum and kinetic approaches. The pipe operates in a high-Knudsen-, low-Reynolds numbers regime where the viscous effects dominate the flow. Since only the isothermal flow is focused, the slip-flow at the wall is the main anomaly. A comparison of the calculation results with those from the available measurements shows good agreement.
