To prevent deposition of Copper gas on the glass walls by deflecting it with a Argon spray inside a very low pressure chamber.
Here we wouldn’t be able to use the continuum hypothesis and so wouldn’t be able to use the Navier Stoke’s flow equations to measure flow rate and pressure.
Methodology
We developed a DSMC simulation using linear particle motion based physics to accurately track collisions and measure flow parameters, such as flow pressure and deposition rate of Copper substrate on glass.
We minimized this deposition by tuning the flow rate of Argon to perfectly disperse the Copper.
Conclusions
Performed DSMC simulation of binary mixture of gases, tracking its motion and collisions at low pressure in 3D, using C++.
Empirically calculated parameters to maintain flow rate of the primary component in the mixture.
Parallelized the simulation at each time step, by domain decomposition using OpenMP for shared memory parallelism.
