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 19):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein the step of defining the net rate of total property influx per unit volume from the gas-solid interface comprises:\n identifying the ballistic trajectory, for each of the second plurality of converging ballistic particles, wherein velocity of the heterogeneous point source for each of the second plurality of converging ballistic particles is assigned to be equal to velocity of the gas-solid interface in a corresponding point of original collisions on the gas-solid interface at a time of diffuse particle scattering; defining probability of traveling along the ballistic trajectory; defining a rate of collisions per unit area in one of a plurality of heterogeneous point sources on the gas-solid interface at the time of diffuse particle scattering, wherein time of diffuse particle scattering for each of the second plurality of converging ballistic particles is identified by the ballistic trajectory; defining a net rate of property flux per unit area in the general point at the given time from one of the plurality of heterogeneous point sources; defining a net rate of total property flux in the general point at the given time from the plurality of heterogeneous point sources on one or more of gas-solid interfaces; and defining the net rate of total property influx per unit volume in the general point at the given time by applying divergence operator to the net rate of total property flux.
