摘要

Fluid flow and heat-transfer characteristics in microchannels are investigated using a finite element based hydrodynamic model with first-order slip/jump boundary conditions. Helium and nitrogen are utilized as working fluid, and the Knudsen-number ranges from slip to transition regime. Results for high-speed compressible gas flow for two separate cases for a microchannel with rough surface and an aspect ratio of five have been compared with published direct-simulation Monte Carlo results. Despite some noticeable differences, the hydrodynamic model compares favorably in predicting the flow structure and heat-transfer characteristics for high-speed microflows.
