An experimental study is performed to reveal the flow phenomena and the oscillation characteristics of water jet flow through a horizontal axisymmetric cavity. The test conditions include different Reynolds numbers and various cavity lengths. Two distinct ...
The fabrication of soft fluid-filled systems with mm or sub-mm scale features such as tuneable lenses, microfluidic tactile sensors, and electrohydraulic zipping actuators often relies on manual filling. This final step of injecting fluid limits throughput ...
Microfluidic models are proving to be powerful systems to study fundamental processes in porous media, due to their ability to replicate topologically complex environments while allowing detailed, quantitative observations at the pore scale. Yet, while por ...
We consider a 2D incompressible and electrically conducting fluid in the domain T x R. The aim is to quantify stability properties of the Couette flow (y, 0) with a constant homogenous magnetic field (beta, 0) when |beta|>1/2. The focus lies on the regime ...
We present a numerical model for the simulation of 3D sediment transport in a Newtonian flow with free surfaces. The Navier-Stokes equations are coupled with the transport, deposition, and resuspension of the particle concentrations, and a volume-of-fluid ...
We present a geometric variational discretization of nonlinear elasticity in 2D and 3D in the Lagrangian description. A main step in our construction is the definition of discrete deformation gradients and discrete Cauchy-Green deformation tensors, which a ...
The scaling of different features of streamwise normal stress profiles uu (+) (y(+)) in turbulent wall-bounded flows is the subject of a long-running debate. Particular points of contention are the scaling of the 'inner' and 'outer' peaks of < uu >(+) at y ...
In this work, we highlight an issue that may reduce the accuracy of many local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations – turbulent self-interaction through the parallel boundary condition. Given a sufficiently long parallel correlation length, individual turbule ...
This paper presents a thermal flow sensor based on the calorimetric principle realized by using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology, where the tapes and flow channel have been structured by laser machining. A standard configuration of a calo ...
