Abstract
A transient gas flow through a rectangular slit is simulated on the basis of unsteady S-model kinetic equation. The flow into vacuum and at two pressure ratios between the reservoirs are considered for a wide range of the rarefaction parameter lying from the free molecular to the near continuum regime. The time of steady flow establishment is obtained and it is found that this time depends on the pressure ratio between the reservoirs and on the gas rarefaction. The time evolution of the macroscopic flow parameters is analyzed in detail. The present results are compared with the results on the orifice flow previously obtained by other authors.
