Fluid Flow Through Microscale Fractal-Like Branching Channel Networks

Flow through fractal-like branching networks is investigated using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics approach. Results are used to assess the validity of and provide insight for improving, assumptions imposed in a previously developed one-dimensional model. Assumptions in the one-dimensional model include (1) reinitiating boundary layers following each bifurcation, (2) constant thermophysical fluid properties, and (3) negligible minor losses at the bifurcations. No changes to the redevelopment of hydrodynamic boundary layers following a bifurcation are recommended
