Abstract:This paper presents some recent progress on internal and external free molecular flows. The first part of this paper concentrates on steady collisionless gas flows inside arbitrary enclosures, which are either convex or concave, two-dimensional or three-dimensional, formed by several plates maintained at different temperatures. If the molecular reflections on these plates are completely diffuse, then at the final steady flow stage for any point inside the enclosures, the velocity distribution function (VDF) is… Show more
