Vacuum Science and Technology – Rarified gas dynamics
Prof. Dr. Felix Sharipov (Federal University of Paraná)
Abstract
Prof. Dr. Felix Sharipov is the world-wide leading expert in rarified gas dynamics. We have been able to win him over to give a three days course on vacuum science and technology. The program of the course will cover topics from basics of rarified gas dynamics to specific phenomena of different flow regimes. Wie will start with the definition and calculation of parameters like molecular fee path, rarefaction etc. and the definition of the flow regimes. When these things are clear, the flow regime specific effects like the velocity slip, temperature jump and thermal creep are discussed. I addition we will talk about gas surface interactions. On the last day, we will learn how to model gas flows with the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method (DSMC).
