A generalized slip-flow theory for a slightly rarefied gas flow induced by discontinuous wall temperature
No full textA system of fluid-dynamic-type equations and their boundary conditions
derived from a system of the Boltzmann equation is of great importance in
kinetic theory when we are concerned with the motion of a slightly rarefied
gas. It offers an efficient alternative to solving the Boltzmann equation
directly and, more importantly, provides a clear picture of the flow structure
in the near-continuum regime. However, the applicability of the existing
slip-flow theory is limited to the case where both the boundary shape and the
kinetic boundary condition are smooth functions of the boundary coordinates,
which precludes, for example, the case where the kinetic boundary condition has
a jump discontinuity. In this paper, we discuss the motion of a slightly
rarefied gas caused by a discontinuous wall temperature in a simple two-surface
problem and illustrate how the existing theory can be extended. The discussion
is based on our recent paper [Taguchi and Tsuji, J. Fluid Mech. 897, A16
(2020)] supported by some preliminary numerical results for the newly
introduced kinetic boundary layer (the Knudsen zone), from which a source-sink
condition for the flow velocity is derived.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figure
Inverse Magnus effect in a rarefied gas
No full textThe transverse force exerted on a rotating sphere immersed in an otherwise
uniform flow of a rarefied gas is investigated based on the
Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model of the Boltzmann equation assuming the
Maxwell boundary condition on the sphere. In several existing studies, it has
been shown that the transverse force acting on the sphere, also known as the
Magnus force, has opposite signs in the free molecular and continuum flows. The
present study intends to clarify the force's transition in terms of the Knudsen
number (i.e., the reciprocal ratio of the sphere radius to the molecular mean
free path) with a particular interest in the impact of the sphere's surface
accommodation. It is found that the threshold of the Knudsen number, at which
the transverse force changes the sign, depends only weakly on the accommodation
coefficient, suggesting certain robustness in the threshold. The present study
is an extension of the previous work [S. Taguchi and T. Tsuji, J. Fluid. Mech.
933, A37 (2022)], in which the case of complete accommodation (diffuse
reflection) is exclusively considered.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figure
A successful model of regional healthcare information exchange in Japan: Case Study in Kagawa Prefecture
No full textIn this study, we focused on analysis of healthcare data exchange over the network. For the advance of broadband capability development, many governments expect online medical information exchange between medical institutions. Japanese government also has tried to deploy ICT in the healthcare field. In Japan, many healthcare ICT projects started, but almost of all the projects face many issues and failed to continue. This situation caused us to clarify the success factor of healthcare information exchange network. For inspecting the success factors, we analyzed information access of healthcare systems in Kagawa prefecture of Japan. Kagawa prefecture is one of the most advance areas for healthcare information technology. We analyzed four medical ICT projects in Kagawa prefecture: K-MIX, Critical Pathway for Diabetes, E-prescription, and PHR. In addition, we inspected characteristics of exchanged data in the network, and stakeholder involved in these projects. This analysis lets us find various types of healthcare ICT projects. Characteristic of data processed in the projects caused differences of characteristic of the projects. On the other hand, multiple systems process same data, though the project does not share the data itself. Considering various types of medical information exchanges projects, we propose classification and standard format of exchanged data according to their characteristic are critical for efficient business deployment. --e-Health,regional healthcare information exchange,EHR
Semianalytical model of optothermal fluidics in a confinement
No full textIn this paper, we provide the semianalytical solution of the temperature and flow fields of a fluid confined in a narrow space between two parallel plates. The temperature increase is triggered by photothermal effects of fluids and/or boundaries due to the absorption of a focused Gaussian beam irradiated perpendicular to the fluid film, and then the temperature variation induces the flow fields through a buoyancy force and/or thermo-osmotic slip. The semianalytical solution to this optothermal fluidic system is validated by comparing with the results of numerical simulation, and is applied to typical optothermal fluidic problems. In particular, the optothermal trap of nanoparticles observed in our previous experiment [Tsuji et al., Electrophoresis 42, 2401 (2021)] is investigated in terms of thermophoretic force and flow drag that are obtained semianalytically. The semianalytical solution can be shared through open-source codes that are available to researchers without the background of fluid mechanics
