Alternative derivation of the Feigel effect and call for its experimental verification

open access: yes, 2011
A recent theory by Feigel [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 020404 (2004)] predicts the finite transfer of momentum from the quantum vacuum to a fluid placed in strong perpendicular electric and magnetic fields.

Transforming Fragile Hydrogel Chips Into Standardized Cartridges via Contact Line Pinning for Robust Microfluidics

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based microfluidic chips revolutionize drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing, yet face challenges due to fragility and connection difficulty. This study introduces a novel cartridge design that enhances usability through a hydrogel–plastic hybrid design and a contactless connection method.

Navier-Stokes Flow in Cylindrical Elastic Tubes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2015
Analytical expressions correlating the volumetric flow rate to the inlet and outlet pressures are derived for the time-independent flow of Newtonian fluids in cylindrically-shaped elastic tubes using a one-dimensional Navier-Stokes flow model with two ...

Cyclic motion and inversion of surface flow direction in a dense polymer brush under shear

open access: yes, 2007
Using molecular simulations, we study the properties of a polymer brush in contact with an explicit solvent under Couette and Poiseuille flow. The solvent is comprised of chemically identical chains.

Navigating Gravity: Competing Effects Result in Opposing Taxis for Different Janus Swimmers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The combined effects of gravity and wall‐induced hydrodynamics on the motion of Janus colloids are investigated. Platinum‐ and copper‐coated silica microswimmers show distinct gravitactic alignment near surfaces due to different hydrodynamic couplings. This distinct gravitactic behavior enables separation of initially mixed active particles.

Analysis of flow rates in cracked reinforced concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract According to Eurocode 2, part 3, autogenous self‐healing of separation cracks with a width ≤0.20 mm can be considered under certain hydraulic conditions. However, practical experience shows that healing does not always reliably occur even when this crack width is maintained.

Slip flow in an annular sector duct using radial eigenfunctions

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014
The fully developed slip flow in an annular sector duct is solved by expansions of eigenfunctions in the radial direction and boundary collocation on the straight sides. The method is efficient and accurate. The flow field for slip flow differs much from

On pressure and velocity flow boundary conditions and bounceback for the lattice Boltzmann BGK model

open access: yes, 1996
Pressure (density) and velocity boundary conditions inside a flow domain are studied for 2-D and 3-D lattice Boltzmann BGK models (LBGK) and a new method to specify these conditions are proposed.

POISEUILLE FLOW INSTABILITIES IN NEMATICS

open access: yesLe Journal de Physique Colloques, 1975
We have extended our study of shear flow instabilities in nematics, aligned perpendicular to the velocity and velocity gradient, to the plane Poiseuille flow case. We recover the homogeneous as well as the roll instability modes. The non-uniform anisotropic stress tensor gives rise to body forces which deflect the flow lines and couple with the ...
