Two-dimensional phonon hydrodynamics in narrow strips

Abstract

Heat flow along two-dimensional strips as a function of the Knudsen number is examined in two different versions of heat-transport equations with non-local terms, with or without heat slip flow. In both of them, a parabolic heat profile corresponding to the Poiseuille phonon flow may appear in some domains of temperature, or of the Knudsen number, in the transition from the Fourier regime to the ballistic one. The influence of the slip heat flow on such a transition is discussed.
