Rotating Plate in a Unidirectional Molecular Flow
Model ID: 10515

This model computes the particle flux, number density and pressure on the surface of a plate that rotates in a highly directional molecular flow. The results obtained are compared with those from other, approximate, techniques for computing molecular flows.



Rotating Plate in a Unidirectional Molecular Flow Average number density on the surface of the plate as the plate is rotated with respect to the horizontal.
