Abstract
Numerical investigations of high-speed rarefied gas outflow into a vacuum through channels with a forward- or backward-facing step have been conducted using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. Calculations have been performed for various free-stream Mach numbers, covering transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flow regimes, and over a wide range of gas rarefaction from free molecular to near hydrodynamic conditions. Mass flow rates through the channel and the gas flow field have been accurately calculated both inside the channel and in the regions upstream and downstream. It has been established that channel geometry, the free-stream velocity, and gas rarefaction strongly influence the gas flow. In the flow field, in front of the channel, a phenomenon known as a detached shock occurs, while inside the channel, a gas recirculation zone may form.
期刊介绍：
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to publish papers in all aspects of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip science and technology. The objectives of the journal are to (1) provide an overview of the current state of the research and development in microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices, (2) improve the fundamental understanding of microfluidic and nanofluidic phenomena, and (3) discuss applications of microfluidics, nanofluidics and lab-on-a-chip devices. Topics covered in this journal include:
1.000 Fundamental principles of micro- and nanoscale phenomena like,
flow, mass transport and reactions
3.000 Theoretical models and numerical simulation with experimental and/or analytical proof
4.000 Novel measurement & characterization technologies
5.000 Devices (actuators and sensors)
6.000 New unit-operations for dedicated microfluidic platforms
7.000 Lab-on-a-Chip applications
8.000 Microfabrication technologies and materials
Please note, Microfluidics and Nanofluidics does not publish manuscripts studying pure microscale heat transfer since there are many journals that cover this field of research (Journal of Heat Transfer, Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, etc.).
