Research Abstract

Diffusion-type equations that describe gas flows through a micro-nano channel with a width much shorter than the length was derived on the basis of molecular gas dynamics by a systematic asymptotic analysis. With the help of the derived equations, the properties of gas flows (in particular, gas flows through a twisty channel) were clarified. In addition, a direct numerical method based on molecular gas dynamics was constructed for wider micro channels.
