title = "Challenges of three-dimensional modeling of microscale propulsion devices with the DSMC method",
abstract = "A numerical study of three-dimensional effects on the performance of a micronozzle is performed by both continuum and kinetic approaches. The flow in a micronozzle was examined in a low Reynolds numbers regime (Re=200) by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The results for a 3D case are compared with those obtained for a 2D and axisymmetric flows. Thrust losses occur because the shear on the wall is greater in the nozzle of a flat configuration compared to an axisymmetric conical nozzle.",
