Abstract

At present, there are sufficient solutions of the problem of free-molecular gas flow through a short cylindrical channel, for example, [1–3]. In intermediate flow conditions, for Knudsen number Kn ∼ 1, solutions have been obtained for the limiting cases: an infinitely long channel [4] and a channel of zero length (an aperture) [5]. However, no solution is known for short channels for Kn ∼ 1. The present work reports a calculation by the Monte Carlo method of the macroscopic characteristics of the gas flow through a short cylindrical channel (for various length—radius ratios), taking into account intermolecular collisions.
