The Knudsen Paradox in Micro-Channel Poiseuille Flows with a Symmetric Particle

The Knudsen paradox—the non-monotonous variation of mass-flow rate with the Knudsen number—is a unique and well-established signature of micro-channel rarefied flows. A particle which is not of insignificant size in relation to the duct geometry can significantly alter the flow behavior when introdu...
