Abstract
Differences between Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) slip/jump solutions and direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) computations are highlighted for a micro lid-driven cavity problem. The results indicate a need for better modelling techniques which at the same time retain low computational cost of NSF models. We also highlight the fact thatmany micro-flows that have been considered are simple planar flows and typical classification systems are defined on such flows. We show that for complex flows, such as thedriven cavity, non-equilibrium effects are more appreciable and their onset occurs at lower Knudsen numbers than expected.
