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 3):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein\n each of a plurality of collisions on a gas-solid interface of the model gas system, which has resulted in diffuse particle scattering from the gas-solid interface, is treated as an act of interaction involving a property transfer from the gas-solid interface to a scattered particle, wherein each of a plurality of points of diffuse particle scattering on the gas-solid interface is treated as a heterogeneous point source for each of a plurality of scattered particles, wherein velocity of each of a plurality of heterogeneous point sources on the gas-solid interface is assigned to be equal to velocity of the gas-solid interface in each of a plurality of corresponding points of diffuse particle scattering at time of diffuse particle scattering, and wherein point source strength of each of the plurality of heterogeneous point sources on the gas-solid interface is assigned to be directly proportional to a property accommodation coefficient in each of the plurality of corresponding points of diffuse particle scattering at time of diffuse particle scattering, the property accommodation coefficient which is probability, for an incident particle, to accommodate one or more of properties intrinsic to the gas-solid interface and to scatter back in the model gas, the property accommodation coefficient being in a range from zero to one.
