Numerical Study of Rarefied Gas Flow in Diverging Channels of Finite Length at Various Pressure Ratios

In the present work, the gas flows through diverging channels driven by small, moderate, and large pressure drops are studied, considering a wide range of the gas rarefaction from free molecular limit through transition flow regime up to early slip regime. The analysis is performed using the Shakhov...
