Flow Characteristics of the Entrance Region with Roughness Effect within Rectangular Microchannels

We conducted systematic numerical investigations of the flow characteristics within the entrance region of rectangular microchannels. The effects of the geometrical aspect ratio and roughness on entrance lengths were analyzed. The incompressible laminar Navier−Stokes equations were solved...
