Micro shock tubes are always used to induce shock waves and supersonic flows in aerospace and medical engineering. A needle-free drug delivery device containing a micro shock tube and an extended nozzle is used to deliver solid drug powders through the skin surface without any injectors or pain. therefore, to improve the performance of needle-free drug delivery devices, it is significantly important to investigate shock waves and particle of gas flows induced by micro shock tubes.
In this study we have made ourselves to better understand the characteristics of unsteady particle and gas flows. The discrete phase method (DPM) was used to simulate unsteady particle and gas flows, and a discrete random walk model was chosen to record the unsteady particle tracking. Numerical results were obtained for comparison with the results of experimental pressure measurement and particle visualization. It was observed that the shock wave propagation agrees well with the experimental results from the numerical simulations. The particles were accelerated at the exit of the micro shock tube due to reservoir pressure induced by the reflected shock wave. Both the sonic and supersonic nozzles were under expanded at the end of the micro shock tubes. The particle velocity was calculated to be less than the gas velocity, which is a result of the greater drag of the injected particles.
Numerical simulation was performed to study the shock wave diffusion and flow of sonic particle-gas flow as well as the supersonic waves along with the comparisons between the pressure fluctuations and other test results were performed and validated and experimental shock wave and numerical shock wave shown were clearly visible in the CFD studies and there is an good agreements of the test data. the particle size has been monitored and investigated in a micro-shock tube.
