This thesis presents a numerical and experimental analysis of internal rarefied gas flows induced by temperature fields. In rarefied gases, a flow can be generated by solely applying a tangential temperature gradient along a wall: without any initial pressure gradient, the gas macroscopically moves from the cold toward the hot region. This phenomenon is the so-called thermal creep or thermal transpiration effect. It is the main operating principle of the Knudsen pump, which can generate gas pumping without the need of any moving parts. The main aspect of this work is centered on numerical investigations of thermal transpiration flows in three new possible configurations of Knudsen pumps. For that goal, a numerical model for slip flows has b...
