Hi, is molflow capable of simulating molecular behavior in structures of micrometer scale (~50 microns)?

Thanks,

Chao

Yes.

In fact, micrometer scale is still very large compared to molecule sizes. Since Molflow assumes that molecules don't collide (which is true up to around 10-3 mbar), the exact scale doesn't matter. Simply scale the geometry correctly (be careful, default distance units in Molflow are centimeters).

Let me know if you have a concrete question, otherwise the simulation should be similar to macroscopic ones.
