Analytical and numerical study of gaseous flow in microchannel with sudden change of section (expansion / contraction)

In this paper, we study an isothermal gas flow (Argon) through a rectangular microchannel with sudden change of section (expansion / contraction). For that, we used two approaches, analytical and numerical, both based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which allows us predicting the pressure driven mas...
