Abstract
In this study, microscale gaseous flows in the transitional regime have been investigated by lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). In the existing microflows LBM models, the Knudsen layer correction function has been introduced into the models. According to the kinetic theory rigorously, we choose a proper expression of correction function, and then determine its adjustable parameter. A substitute high-order boundary conditions treatment is adopted to capture the velocity slip, without any difficulties in computing the high-order velocity derivatives. The numerical results of two typical microflows show that: the present results agree with the analytical solutions better than the existing LBM simulations. Evident improvements can also be found, especially for finite Kn microflows.
