Continuum model for Couette-Poiseuille flow in a drag molecular pump

Fluid Dynamics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A continuum one-dimensional model of the plane Couette-Poiseuille flow is developed to describe the pressure distribution in a drag stage of molecular pump of either the Gaede or Holweck type. In spite of its simplicity and approximate nature the model provides a good qualitative representation of the drag pump operation in the whole range of the regimes from the continuum to free molecular ones.
