Molecular-based numerical schemes, such as the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, are more physically appropriate for rarefied gas flows in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). It is difficult for them to be statistically convergent, however, because the statistical fluctuation becomes i

A highly efficient molecular dynamics algorithm for micro and nanoscale electrokinetic flows is developed. The long-range Coulomb interactions are calculated using the Particle-Particle Particle-Mesh (P 3 M) approach. The Poisson equation for the electrostatic potential is solved in physical space u
A time-derivative preconditioned system of equations suitable for the numerical simulation of inviscid compressible flow at low speeds is formulated. The preconditioned system of equations are hyperbolic in time and remain well-conditioned in the incompressible limit. The preconditioning formulation
This paper extends the gas-kinetic BGK-type scheme to low Mach number flows, and thus shows that incompressible flow solutions are accurately obtained from the BGK scheme in the low Mach number limit. The influence of boundary conditions, internal molecular degrees of freedom K , and the flow Mach n
