Abstract The micro-nozzle allows small spacecraft to realize the orbital maneuvering and precise station-keeping. Due to the rarefaction effect of the gas flow in micro-nozzles, the velocity-slip and temperature-jump exists near inner wall, and thus, affecting the operating characteristics of micro-nozzles. Various gas-solid theories and models have been developed to describe the velocity slip and temperature jump in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this study, numerical simulations of a micro-nozzle with five classical slip boundary models, which are based on the Maxwell scattering and Langmuir adsorption, are conducted to analyze the applicability of these models through comparing with the results obtained by direct simulated Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The results show that the inlet pressure dramatically influences the flow regime of the micro-nozzle. The lower the inlet pressure, the higher the influence of the rarefaction effect. The results also indicate that the Langmuir slip model can accurately simulate the flow field in the transition regime. However, the modified Maxwell and Langmuir models proposed by Agrawal et al. (2008) and Le et al. (2012), respectively, are valid in the slip regime.

    Highlights Applicability of five slip models in micro-nozzle were validated. The results obtained by various slip models were compared with that of DSMC. The effects of slip and jump upon the behavior of micro-nozzle flow were analyzed. Two slip models were recommended for the slip regime.
