Vacuum simulations


Simulation workflow, from modeling to showing results


Statistical error evolution with increasing number of simulated molecule trajectories


Density cross-section of a gas jet formed by the beaming effect of a capillary


Effusion from a short tube showing the beaming effect


Pressure and density around a hot filament, with prevailing molecule flow directions


Pressure in a cube with different reflection distributions, showing that the cosine (Lambertian) distribution is the only one resulting in uniform pressure


Transmission probability calculation on a Linac's injector


A special case of periodic boundary conditions, allowing to repeat common strucutres, like a pump

Thermal creep


Thermal transipration or thermal creep showing a pressure and density gradient in equilibrium when the system is not isothermal
