Abstract

The shock wave propagation in the micro channel of the different sizes is studied numerically in order to estimate the possibility of the experimental apparatus development. The full compressible Navier–Stokes equations are used for the numerical simulation. The shock wave velocity attenuation is found for the channel height smaller than H = 200 μm. The influence of the channel size and of the diaphragm pressure ratio on the shock wave velocity is considered. The considerable influence of the viscous effects on the shock propagation is shown.
