Effect of viscosity on slip boundary conditions in rarefied gas flows

Abstract. The viscosity of gases plays an important role in the kinetic theory of gases

and in the continuum-fluid modeling of the rarefied gas flows. In this paper we investigate the effect of the gas viscosity on the surface properties as surface gas temperature

and slip velocity in rarefied gas simulations. Three various viscosity models in the literature such as the Maxwell, Power Law and Sutherland models are evaluated. They are

implemented into OpenFOAM to work with the solver “rhoCentralFoam” that solves the

Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations. Four test cases such as the pressure driven backward

facing step nanochannel, lid-driven micro-cavity, hypersonic gas flows past the sharp 25-

55-deg. biconic and the circular cylinder in cross-flow cases are considered for evaluating

three viscosity models. The simulation results show that, whichever the first-order or

second-order slip and jump conditions are adopted, the simulation results of the surface

temperature and slip velocity using the Maxwell viscosity model give good agreement

with DSMC data for all cases studied.

 1. INTRODUCTION
 The accuracy of the Navier–Stokes–Fourier (N–S–F) simulations for rarefied and mi-
croscale gas flows depends on the slip velocity and temperature jump conditions, and
also the constitutive relations supplied, such as the viscosity-temperature relation, ther-
mal conductivity and heat capacity. We did an investigation for the slip and jump con-
ditions in [1] to find the most suitable choice of slip velocity and temperature jump con-
ditions for rarefied gas simulations. Flow regimes in rarefied gas dynamics are charac-
terized by the Knudsen number, Kn, defined as the ratio of gas mean free path (i.e. the
average distance a molecule moves between successive intermolecular collisions) to a
characteristic length of the vehicle body, as free molecular (Kn ≥ 10), transition regime
(0.1 ≤ Kn ≤ 10), slip regime (0.001 ≤ Kn ≤ 0.13), and continuum regime (Kn ≤ 0.001).

The CFD method, which solves the Navier–Stokes–Fourier (N–S–F) equations with ap-
propriate slip and jump conditions, may simulate successfully rarefied gas flows in the
slip regime, up to a Knudsen number of 0.1. The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC)
method is a commonly used to investigate the rarefied gas flows. But this method is also
very expensive both in computational time and memory requirements.
 The viscosity affects to the accuracy of the N–S–F simulation results through the
shear stress, heat transfer and the Maxwellian mean free path presented in the slip ve-
locity and temperature jump conditions. In gas microflows, the mean free path of the
gas molecules becomes significant relative to the characteristic dimension of the micro-
devices. The action of viscosity can be achieved from a consideration of the transfer of
molecular momentum between two contiguous layers of the mass flow. Momentum is
carried by the molecules from one layer to the other both by direct translation and by in-
termolecular collisions. If this transfer process is undergone then viscous flow occurs [2].
So the viscosity of gases played an important role in the kinetic theory of gases and rar-
efied gas simulations. Various viscosity models such as the constant viscosity, Power
Law and Maxwell viscosity models were investigated for one-dimensional (1D) shock
structure by the CFD and DSMC methods [3,4]. The Maxwell viscosity model gave good
simulation results of the shock structure in comparing with experimental data [5]. The
Sutherland and Power Law viscosity models have been commonly using in CFD simu-
lations. The viscosity of real gases can be matched by a power law over a small temper-
ature range only, because the long-range attractive forces (the van der Waals forces) are
ignored. More realistic is the Sutherland potential which combines a short-range hard
sphere repulsion with a long-range inverse 6th power attractive potential [6]. So far there
is not yet any comparison between these viscosity models in two-dimensional (2D) rar-
efied gas simulations. In this paper three various viscosity models found in the literature
such as Sutherland, Power Law and Maxwell viscosity models are numerically investi-
gated to evaluate their performance in rarefied gas flows in the slip regime (Kn ≤ 0.1).

4.5. Discussion
 Although the Sutherland viscosity model has been currently using mostly in the CFD
rarefied gas simulations but the simulation results show that the Maxwell viscosity model
give the good agreement with DSMC data for both the first-order and second-order slip
velocity and temperature jump conditions, and with various accommodation coefficients
in all cases considered. This may be explained that the Maxwell viscosity model was de-
rived based on the net transfer of momentum since the gas molecules across any plane
perpendicular in direction of velocity gradient resulting in the fixed coefficient s = 0.5,
and did not depend on the reference temperature. While the Power Law and the Suther-
land viscosity models were developed based on the intermolecular force law and attrac-
tive force, in which the exponent, s, and constants (AS, TS, AP) are determined from the
limiting theoretical cases or the limited ranges of temperatures in experiments. Com-
paring Eqs. (1) and (4), both of the DSMC and Maxwell viscosity models depend on the
molecular mass and diameter leading to the simulation results of the Maxwell viscosity
model are close to those of DSMC data while two other viscosity models do not.
 5. CONCLUSIONS
 From the simulation results obtained, whichever the slip and jump boundary con-
ditions are adopted, the viscosity models effect the accuracy of the simulation results of
surface gas temperature and slip velocity. The simulation results show that the Maxwell
viscosity model provides better predictions of the surface gas temperature and slip veloc-
ity than the Sutherland and Power Law viscosity models in comparing with the DSMC
data, and pointed out the importance of the viscosity in rarefied gas flow simulations. A
good viscosity model will increase the accuracy of the N–S–F simulations for rarefied gas
flows, and gives better prediction the peak surface gas temperature to design the thermal
protection system in hypersonic vehicles.
