• Design and optimization of a Holweck pump via linear kinetic theory 

      Naris, S.; Koutandou, E.; Valougeorgis, D. (2012)
      The Holweck pump is widely used in the vacuum pumping industry. It can be a self standing apparatus or it can be part of a more advanced pumping system. It is composed by an inner rotating cylinder (rotor) and an outer ...
    • Rarefied gas flow through tubes of finite length 

      Varoutis, S.; Valougeorgis, D.; Sharipov, F. (2009)
      The flow of rarefied gases through tubes of finite length due to a pressure gradient is investigated by the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The non-equilibrium effects at the inlet and outlet of the tube have ...
