This paper investigates the laminar flow inside a T-mixer composed of three pipes with a circular cross section. The flow enters the mixer symmetrically from the two aligned pipes and leaves the device from the third pipe. In similar devices, but involving ...

In compressor design, a convenient way to save time is to scale an existing geometry to required specifications, rather than developing a new design. The approach works well when scaling compressors of similar size at high Reynolds numbers but becomes more ...

The configuration of a hydraulic fracture (HF) propagating perpendicular to the isotropy plane of a transversely isotropic (TI) material is encountered in most sedimentary basins. We account for both elastic and fracture toughness anisotropy, and investiga ...

A turbidity current is a particle-laden current driven by density differences due to suspended sediment particles. Turbidity currents can transport large amounts of sediment down slopes over great distances, and play a significant role in fluvial, lake and ...

Understanding hierarchical self-assembly of biological structures requires real time measurement of the self-assembly process over a broad range of length- and timescales. The success of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) in imaging small scale mo ...

Programmable self-assembly of modular robots offers promising means for structure formation at different scales. Rule-based approaches have been previously employed for distributed control of stochastic self-assembly processes. The assembly rate in the pro ...

This study demonstrates that the aerodynamic drag profile of a patterned deformable cylinder at high Reynolds numbers can be programmed, on demand, by modifying its topography through pneumatic actuation. The samples used in the experiments comprise a rigi ...

When laminar shear flows in large wall-bounded domains transition to turbulence, the flow exhibits spatio-temporally chaotic dynamics. Despite its chaotic dynamics, the flow may self-organize into characteristic spatially periodic patterns of unknown origi ...

Nanofluidic systems offer a huge potential for discovery of new molecular transport and chemical phenomena that can be employed for future technologies. Herein, we report on the transport behavior of surface-reactive compounds in a nanometer-scale flow of ...

We quantify the importance of turbulent flow on the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF) accounting for the addition of friction reducing agents to the fracturing fluid (slickwater fluid). The addition in small quantities of a high molecular weight poly ...

The work presented in this thesis focused on the synthesis and characterization of new metalloligands based on iron(II) clathrochelate complexes. Clathrochelates can be functionalized peripherally with donor groups capable of coordinating metal ions. The s ...
