Under high vacuum conditions, i.e., pressure p < 10 2 mbar, the material transfer can be described using Monte Carlo simulations. Usually, inelastic collisions and collective phenomena as shock waves cannot be considered here. The so called Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method allows extension to slightly higher gas pressures.

The plume development in MD simulations can only be followed up to a few nanoseconds after the pulse, which is not enough to compare the data with various experimental techniques (such as MALDI, TOF-MS, shadowgra-phy, interferometry, or for PLD). The long-term plume expansion is then modeled by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method, which was recently applied to systems relevant to MALDI [112].

Hadjicrnistantinou and Simek [35] investigated the case for fuUy developed flow with uniform wall temperature. They found that Eqs. 7 and 17 with both F = 1 and = 1 were adequate in determining the physics in this slip-flow problem. They compared their results with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. They concluded that slip-flow models neglecting viscous dissipation, expansion cooling, and thermal creep were adequate in describing the heat transfer. However, when considering viscous dissipation, the Nu expression becomes [34]...
