Course description and aims
In this course, at first, a difference between rarefied gas dynamis and continuum flow will be explained and then, from s view point, quilibrium state and trabsfort phenomena will be expalined as the basics to understand rarefied gas dynamics. Students will study the governing equation and numerical simulation mehod to solve the equation. Furthermore, visualizing methods and measurement methods for rarefied gas flow will be explained. Finally, engineering applications of rarefied gas flow such as CVD process, MEMS and space engineering will be shown. For better understanding, some exercises will be given in the course.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
１）Understand differences between rarefied gas flows and continuum flows.
２）Acquire the fundamentals of statistics for treating molecular gas dynamics.
３）Understand the Boltzmann equation and how to solve it numerically.
４）Understand visualization techniques and measurement methods for rarefied gas flow.
