Исследование Гидродинамического Сопротивления Щелевого Микроканала С Текстурированной Стенкой

Abstract

The results of numerical investigation of the hydrodynamic drag of a slit microchannel with a textured wall surface, as well as the pressure drop in such a channel and the effective slip length on the wall for various Reynolds numbers, are presented. The channel height was 10 µm, and the length varied from 25 to 500 µm. It was found that the pressure drop in the textured microchannel was less than in a conventional channel for any of its lengths. The dependences of the relative pressure drop, the friction factor, and the effective slip length on the Reynolds number were obtained for various channel lengths. A correlation that describes the dependence of the relative pressure drop on the Reynolds number for small channel lengths was proposed. The friction factor is described by a correlation of form 20 / Re.
