Molecular gas dynamics
0104102-146
[DEFINITION]
A dynamics which treats gas as a mass of molecules.
[DESCRIPTION]
Molecular gas dynamics deals with behavior of gas in wide range of
states covering conventional gas dynamics problems. Molecular gas dynamics have features that can
explain conventional gas dynamics from a microscopic point of view, and can treat multiple component
gas systems, gas systems in which chemical reactions take place coherently. Application of
molecular gas dynamics is expected in various fields such as the aerospace engineering, vacuum
technology, micromachine technology, and aerosol.
