Comparison of Kinetic Theory and Hydrodynamics for Poiseuille Flow
Journal of Statistical Physics
(2002)
Abstract
Comparison of particle (DSMC) simulation with the numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes (NS) equations for pressure-driven plane Poiseuille flow is presented and contrasted with that of the acceleration-driven Poiseuille flow. Although for the acceleration-driven case DSMC measurements are qualitatively different from the NS solution at relatively low Knudsen number, the two are in somewhat better agreement for pressure-driven flow.
