Transmission probability and active pumping ability of the channel with moving partition plane

In this paper we present Test Particle Monte Carlo (TPMC) simulations of the transmission probability and the active pumping ability of a rectangular channel of different physical parameters. The novel feature of this problem is that the channel has a partition plane in the middle which is moving up and down, which makes it to a dynamical system. The system was simulated by our TPMC code ProVac3D developed with a new subroutine considering the moving partition plane. In order to obtain precise simulation results, at least 1011 test particles were simulated in parallel on the supercomputer Helios in Japan. It is found that the amplitude and the frequency of the movement will affect both transmission probability and the active pumping ability of the channel. Moreover, it is also found that transmission probability and active pumping ability of the channel with the moving partition plane are no longer independent of the mass of the gas species.
