Evaluation of Micronozzle Performance through DSMC, Navier-Stokes and Coupled DSMC/Navier-Stokes Approaches [PDF]
Both the particle based Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method and a compressible Navier-Stokes based continuum method are used to investigate the flow inside micronozzles and to predict the performance of such devices. For the Navier-Stokes approach, both slip and no-slip boundary conditions are applied.
