Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation on compressible gas flow through microchannels with a constant area, rectangular cross-section. The microchannels are etched into silicon wafers, capped with smooth glass, and have hydraulic diameters between 4 and 100 μm. All measurements were made in the laminar flow regime with Reynolds numbers ranging from 0.02 to 1000. Smooth channels were obtained by etching (100) silicon wafers with potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. Rough channel surfaces were obtained by etching (110) silicon wafers with KOH. The investigation shows that the friction factor for both smooth and rough microchannels compares closely with continuum theory.

The paper is focused on the numerical simulation of the compressible gas flow through the porous media and fences. We work with the the non-stationary viscous compressible fluid flow, described by the RANS equations. The flow through the porous media is characterized by the loss of momentum. It is possible to use various methods for the simulation of such flow. Here we present the approach with the modification of the source term, and other possibilities using the modification of the face flux. The original approach was presented recently by the authors analysing the modification of the Riemann problem with one-side initial condition, complemented with the Darcy’s law and added inertial loss. Another aim of this paper is the evaluation and estimate of the forces acting on the diffusible barrier (fence) with given parameters. The presented examples were obtained with the own-developed code for the solution of the compressible gas flow.
