DSMC Simulation of Micro/Nano Shear Driven Flows

In the present work, compressible rarefied gas flow is considered between two parallel moving plates maintained at the same uniform temperature and analyzed by direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. We compare our DSMC temperature and velocity profile with analytical solutions based on the NS equations subject to the velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions. We also study the behavior of shear stress and heat fluxes in the domain over a wide range of Knudsen numbers
