Numerical study of the radiometric phenomenon exhibited by a rotating Crookes radiometer

Abstract:
The two-dimensional rarefied gas flow around a rotating Crookes radiometer and the arising radiometric forces are studied by numerically solving the Boltzmann kinetic equation. The computations are performed in a noninertial frame of reference rotating together with the radiometer. The collision integral is directly evaluated using a projection method, while second- and third-order accurate TVD schemes are used to solve the advection equation and the equation for inertia-induced transport in the velocity space, respectively. The radiometric forces are found as functions of the rotation frequency.
Key words:
Boltzmann kinetic equation, direct numerical simulation, radiometric forces, Crookes radiometer, micromotor, noninertial frame of reference.
