| TITLE | On Thermal Transpiration (I)~(II) |
| ABSTRACT |
We consider the thermal transpiration problem in a flow induced by the gradient of the wall temperature. There is no pressure gradient along the main flow direction in thermal transpiration. I will introduce the phenomena and the physical explanation on it, then I explain the mathematical model, linearized Boltzmann equation for hard sphere, and diffused boundary condition. In the end, I will talk about some new results, regarding the solution profile for sufficiently dilute gas with a singularity at zero normal microscopic velocity near the boundary. |
