Gas flows take place in a number of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Since the dimensions of the MEMS are within μm range, it is necessary to take into account the gas rarefaction effects in investigations of these flows. This paper presents the solution and analysis of isothermal compressible gas flow through micro channels with slow varying cross section under low Mach number conditions. The problem is solved by the introduction of the small parameter ε that presents the square of the Mach and Reynolds numbers ratio. Small parameter ε is used in a regular perturbation analysis of the problem. The exact dependence among Mach, Reynolds and Knudsen number is utilized, which leads to accurate prediction of the influence of the inertia forces and the slip boundary conditions.

The classic hydrodynamic Hele-Shaw problem is revisited in the context of evaluating the viscous resistance to low-Mach compressible viscous gas flows through shallow non-uniform micro-fluidic configurations. Our recent study of gas flows through constricted shallow micro-channels indicates that the failure of the standard Hele-Shaw approximation to satisfy the no-slip boundary condition at the sidewalls severely restricts its applicability. To overcome this we have extended the asymptotic scheme to incorporate an inner solution in the vicinity of the sidewalls (which, in turn, allows for the characterization of the effects of channel cross-section geometry) and its matching to an outer correction. We have compared the results of the present asymptotic analysis to existing exact analytic and numerical results for straight and uniform channels and to finite-element simulations for a 90° turn and a symmetric T-junction, which demonstrate a remarkably improved accuracy relative to the standard Hele-Shaw approximation. This suggests the present scheme as a viable alternative for the rapid performance estimate of micro-fluidic devices.
