Very quickly, I was just curious. Is Fluent is appropriate for all Knudsen Number regimes?

The rarefaction of flow based on Knudsen number can be divided into 4 categories.
Flow regime Knudsen number range
Continuum Regime < 0.001
Slip flow 0.001 - 0.1
Transition flow 0.1 - 10
Free Molecular > 10
I know Continuum is covered in Fluent, but is there a source that specifies any limitations on the others? Maybe limitations near walls like it seems CFX has issues with? Any info would be appreciated!

looks like Fluent is good down to sub-micron
