Energy harvesting from transverse galloping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Some elastic bluff bodies under the action of a fluid flow can experience transverse galloping and lose stability if the flow velocity exceeds a critical value.

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Spatial and Temporal Variation of Turbulence during Oscillatory Flow in Realistic Model Human Airways

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2012
Turbulence in the oscillatory flow in realistic model human central airways was measured by particle image velocimetry (PIV) to reveal the nature of turbulence in a lung. The transparent silicone model of multi-branching airways was fabricated from X-ray

Oscillation dynamics of embolic microspheres in flows with red blood cell suspensions

open access: yes, 2012
Dynamic nature of particle motion in blood flow is an important determinant of embolization based cancer therapy. Yet, the manner in which the presence of high volume fraction of red blood cells influences the particle dynamics remains unknown.

Resonance enhanced turbulent transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The effect of oscillatory shear flows on turbulent transport of passive scalar fields is studied by numerical computations based on the results provided by E. Kim [Physics of Plasmas 13, 022308 (2006)] .

Oscillatory flow through a convergent tube.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series B, 1985
This paper deals with the laminar laminar oscillatory flow of an incompressible fluid through a slightly convergent tube. The velocity distributions in the convergent tube, whose convergent angles are in the range of 2-4°, are measured by a Laser Doppler Velocimeter. The flow in the convergent tube is numerically analysed by a finite difference method (

Microporous Microgel Assemblies Facilitating the Recruitment and Osteogenic Differentiation of Progenitor Cells for Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
There is a significant need for biomaterials with well‐defined stability and bioactivity to support tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a tunable microgel platform that enables the decoupling of stiffness from porosity, thereby promoting bone regeneration.

The Effect of an Upstream Control Object in Low-Speed Rotation upon the Flow past a Long Plate

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2011
In the present study, the authors consider a control of the flow past a semi-infinite plate with a blunt front. The flow is one of the simplest separated-and-reattaching flows, and can be a model such as heat exchangers and flow straighteners commonly ...

An experimental study of coupling between combustor pressure, fuel/air mixing, and the flame [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Fuel-air mixing behavior under the influence of imposed acoustic oscillations has been studied by investigating the response of the fuel mixture fraction field.

MOFs and COFs in Electronics: Bridging the Gap between Intrinsic Properties and Measured Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise for advanced electronics. However, discrepancies in reported electrical conductivities highlight the importance of measurement methodologies. This review explores intrinsic charge transport mechanisms and extrinsic factors influencing performance, and critically ...
