Pumping performance of a disk-type molecular drag pump for a hybrid molecular pump is numerically analyzed by the direct simulation onte-Carlo method. The flows in pumping channels are three-dimensional (3D) in a molecular transition regime. The main difficulty in modeling a 3D case comes from the rotating frame of reference. Thus, trajectories of particles ar no longer straight lines. In the present study, trajectories of particles are calculated by integrating a system of differential equations including the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The null-collisions. The present numerical results molecular model is used for calculation of molecular collisions. The present numerical results significantly disagree with the previously known ones. This indicates that an actual pumping passage is very limited to a narrow region due to the significant backstreaming of molecules from the outlet.
