Efficient Numerical Techniques for Multiscale Modeling of Thermally Driven Gas Flows with Application to Thermal Sensing Atomic Force Microscopy

The modeling of Micro- and NanoElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS and NEMS) requires new computational techniques that can deal efficiently with geometric complexity and scale dependent effects that may arise. Reduced feature sizes increase the coupling of physical phenomena and noncontinuum behavior,...
