Star-Shaped Microchannel

This model presents a time-dependent study of a microchannel that is used to infuse and flush another piece of equipment with a fluid.

The pressure at the five inlets varies sinusoidally as functions of time, and the velocity vector at the outlet is studied.

The model uses an extruded prism mesh, which reduces the computational time and memory requirements.
