Thermophoresis of Janus particles at large Knudsen numbers
Tobias Baier, Sudarshan Tiwari, Samir Shrestha +2
The force and torque on a Janus sphere moving in a rarefied gas with a thermal gradient are calculated. The regime of large Knudsen number is considered, with the momenta of imping…
Knudsen pump inspired by Crookes radiometer with a specular wall
Tobias Baier, Steffen Hardt, Vahid Shahabi +1
A rarefied gas is considered in a channel consisting of two infinite parallel plates between which an evenly spaced array of smaller plates is arranged normal to the channel direct…
Propulsion Mechanisms for Leidenfrost Solids on Ratchets
Tobias Baier, Guillaume Dupeux, Stefan Herbert +2
We propose a model for the propulsion of Leidenfrost solids on ratchets based on viscous drag due to the flow of evaporating vapor. The model assumes pressure-driven flow described…
