molecularflowlike
Molecularflowlike is a descriptive term used in physics and engineering to denote behavior or models that resemble molecular flow. In this sense, it characterizes transport regimes where the gas mean free path is large compared to the dimensions of the system, so that molecule-wall interactions dominate and intermolecular collisions are infrequent. The term is informal and not part of a formal scientific category.
It is closely related to the concept of free molecular flow and to the Knudsen number criterion
Applications include vacuum system design, microfluidic channels, and MEMS devices, as well as computational approaches such
Limitations: since molecularflowlike is informal, it lacks a strict threshold; the term should be used with
