What Can the Molecular Flow Module Do?
The Molecular Flow Module is a collection of tailored physics interfaces for the simulation of kinetic gas flows. The module includes two physics interfaces: the Transitional Flow interface and the Molecular Flow interface. The Transitional Flow interface uses a
discrete velocity
/
lattice Boltzmann
approach to solve low velocity gas flows in the transitional flow regime. The Molecular Flow interface uses the
angular coefficient
method to solve molecular flows.
The Molecular Flow Module Application Library and supporting documentation explain how to use the physics interfaces to model a range of problems encountered by vacuum practitioners.
