Lattice Boltzmann Method For Simulating Gas Flow In Microchannels

Isothermal gas flows in microchannels is studied using the lattice Boltzmann method. A novel equation relating Knudsen number with relaxation time is derived. The slip-velocity on the solid boundaries is reasonably realized by combining the bounce-back reflection with specular reflection in a certain proportion. Predicted characteristics in a two-dimensional microchannel flow, including slip-velocity, nonlinear pressure drop, friction factors, velocity distribution along the streamwise direction and mass flow rate, are compared with available analytical and experimental results and good agreement is achieved.
