The present work is related to the study of the nitrogen gas flow through diverging micro and nano-channels. The direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) method has been used to study the flow. The Simplified Bernoulli Trials (SBT) collision…
Direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method with simplified Bernoulli-trials (SBT) collision scheme has been used to study the rarefied pressure-driven nitrogen flow through diverging microchannels. The fluid behaviours flowing between two…
Prescribed wall heat flux provides an active route for controlling rarefied micro-nozzle flows, but its effect is governed by the coupled wall--bulk thermal response rather than by the imposed flux alone. This work uses direct simulation…
The object of this paper is to study the influence of dispersed micrometer size particles on turbulent heat transfer mechanisms in wall-bounded flows. The strategic target of the current research is to set up a methodology to size and…
The gas flow characteristics in lid-driven cavities are influenced by several factors, such as cavity geometry, gas properties, and boundary conditions. In this study, the physics of heat and gas flow in cylindrical lid-driven cavities with…
The migration characteristics of a suspended deformable droplet in a parallel plate microchannel is studied, both analytically and numerically, under the combined influence of a constant temperature gradient in the transverse direction and…
Significant temperature effects on the electrokinetic transport in a nanochannel with a slab geometry are demonstrated using a molecular dynamics (MD) model. A system consisting of Na+ and Cl- ions dissolved in water and confined between…
The thermal expansion of a fluid combined with a temperature-dependent viscosity introduces nonlinearities in the Navier-Stokes equations unrelated to the convective momentum current. The couplings generate the possibility for net fluid…
Gaseous thermal transpiration flows through a rectangular micro-channel are simulated by the direct simulation BGK (DSBGK) method. These flows are rarefied, within the slip and transitional flow regimes, which are beyond many traditional…
In molecular dynamics simulations, nanochannel flows are usually driven by a constant force, that aims to represent a pressure difference between inlet and outlet, and periodic boundary conditions are applied in the streamwise direction…
The shape of a microchannel cross-section is usually affected by a significant uncertainty due to the small hydraulic diameter. Such an uncertainty is indeed present at any scale, but is amplified in smaller scales, becoming significantly…
The numerical simulation of a Poiseuille flow in a narrow channel using the molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is performed. Poiseuille flow of liquid Argon in a carbon nanochannel is simulated by embedding the fluid particles in a uniform…
The effect of an axial temperature gradient on the flow profile and the induced streaming potential of a pressure-driven symmetric electrolyte in a slit channel is investigated. Based on the non-isothermal Nernst-Planck equations as well as…
We study hydrodynamics, heat transfer and entropy generation in pressure-driven microchannel flow of a power-law fluid. Specifically, we address the effect of asymmetry in the slip boundary condition at the channel walls. Constant, uniform…
The liquid flow and conjugated heat transfer performance of single-phase laminar flow in rectangular microchannels equipped with longitudinal vortex generators (LVGs) are numerically investigated. Deionized-water with temperature-dependent…
Inertial pumping is a promising new method of moving fluids through microchannels but many of its properties remain unexplored. In this work, inertial flow rates are investigated for different channel lengths, operating temperatures, and…
Microfluidics technology offers high efficiency of heat and mass transfer and low safety hazards compared to conventional multiphase processes. The multiphase flow in the microchannels is usually characterized as Taylor flow that includes…
Simulation of transport properties of confined, low-dimensional fluids can be performed efficiently by means of Multi-Particle Collision (MPC) dynamics with suitable thermal-wall boundary conditions. We illustrate the effectiveness of the…
In the past few decades, great efforts have been devoted to studying heat transfer on the nanoscale due to its importance in multiple technologies such as thermal control and sensing applications. Heat conduction through the nanoconfined…
Long, shallow microchannels embedded in thick soft materials are widely used in microfluidic devices for lab-on-a-chip applications. However, the bulging effect caused by fluid--structure interactions between the internal viscous flow and…
