Functional Description

Cake (Cut cell Algorithm for Kinetic Equations) can simulate 2D plane rarefied flows around moving obstacles, by using an immersed boundary technique with Cartesian grids. This code can simulate flows induced by temperature gradients, like the thermal creep flow. It has for instance been applied to the simulation of the Crookes radiometer.
