Molecular dynamics of flows in the Knudsen regime

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

Novel technological applications often involve fluid flows in the Knudsen regime in which the mean free path is comparable to the system size. We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the transition between the dilute gas and the dense fluid regimes as the fluid density is increased.
