Kinetic Force Method with Quasiparticle Pairs for Numerical Modeling 3D Rarefied Gas Flows

Abstract

Abstract. In the paper a new way of Kinetic Force Method application for modeling rarefied gas flows is suggested. This way is founded on a kinetic equation for auxiliary two-particle distribution function of quasiparticle pairs. One-particle distribution function satisfying the classical Boltzmann equation can be obtained from the auxiliary distribution function by a simple integration. The using of quasiparticle pairs guarantees energy and momentum conservation in the course of the rarefied gas flows modeling automatically. Comparison of the results obtained by Kinetic Force Method and DSMC method is carried out on the examples of numerical simulations of the homogeneous relaxation and the vacuum pump micro flows
