Abstract
With the advancement of fabrication technology and miniaturization, fluid flows at micro- and nanoscales has received considerable attention. Flow characteristics in these systems significantly vary from those of macro- scale devices, due to geometric restrictions. In such cases, Navier-Stokes-Fourier(NSF) equations with no-slip condition may not be valid for studying gas flows inside a micro- cavity. This article therefore investigates the cavity flows using modified NSF equations with velocity slip and temperature jump conditions. In the present case, a monatomic gas is considered for modelling gas flows. To accurately predict the flow physics, mixed modal discontinuous Galerkin(DG) method is being developed. The flow characteristics of monatomic gas is studied by varying the Reynolds number(Re) and Knudsen number(Kn), respectively. Results obtained are compared with the previous results and are found to be in good agreement with them.
