1D Poiseuille Plane Channel Flow by Second Order Response Matrix

With increasing miniaturization of diagnostic devices for more effective detection of blood-borne pathogens for example, Poiseuille molecular flow in micro channels has become increasingly relevant. Since continuum mechanics no longer applies for Poiseuille flow when the Knudson number is near or larger than unity, kinetic theory is required to capture the microscopic molecular scattering responsible for channel molecular flow and the velocity profile across a channel. Here, we apply a response matrix solution to the 1D Poiseuille flow with a BGK approximation featuring simplicity with precision by following a consistent numerical formulation leading to high precision, 8-place benchmarks.
