Abstract:
An improved computer implemented method for modeling transport processes in fluids is disclosed. Instead of modeling based on using an infinitesimal fluid element of a continuous medium, the method approximates fluid flow in a fluid system as a model gas flow in a model gas system being identical to the fluid system. The method is adapted to model gas flow including dilute gas flow for high Knudsen numbers (Kn). The method delivers a new basis for prediction of dynamic evolution of the model gas system by considering a pre-established or known dynamic history of the system during a pre-initial period. A new generation of Computational Fluid Dynamics software products, which are based on the disclosed analytical tools and methods, are anticipated having capability to modeling gases from the continuum flow regime (Kn<0.01) to the free molecular flow regime (Kn>10), considerably higher accuracy of prediction, and lower computation cost.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 19 , wherein the step of defining the rate of collisions comprises steps of:\n defining a bulk component of an impingement rate formed by particles chosen from the plurality of converging ballistic particles originated from the original collisions in space occupied by the model gas; defining a bulk-specular component of the impingement rate formed by particles chosen from the plurality of converging ballistic particles originated from the original collisions in space occupied by the model gas and having at least the last preceding specular scattering; defining a diffuse component of the impingement rate formed by particles chosen from the plurality of converging ballistic particles originated from one or more of heterogeneous point sources; defining a diffuse-specular component of the impingement rate formed by particles chosen from the plurality of converging ballistic particles originated from original diffuse scatterings from one or more of heterogeneous point sources and having at least the last preceding specular scattering; and summing the bulk component, the bulk-specular component, the diffuse component, and the diffuse-specular component of the impingement rate, wherein each of a plurality of impinging particles is selected by an impinging trajectory allowing to target the gas-solid interface in a specific location of the gas-solid interface at a specific time.
