Acoustofluidic large-scale mixing for enhanced microfluidic immunostaining for tissue diagnostics

Martinus Gijs, Diego Gabriel Dupouy, Muaz Salama Abdelmonem Draz

The usage of microfluidics for automated and fast immunoassays has gained a lot of interest in the last decades. This integration comes with certain challenges, like the reconciliation of laminar flow patterns of micro-scale systems with diffusion-limited ...

Fiber Buckling in Confined Viscous Flows: An Absolute Instability Described by the Linear Ginzburg-Landau Equation

François Gallaire, Jean Cappello

We explore the dynamics of a flexible fiber transported by a viscous flow in a Hele-Shaw cell of height comparable to the fiber height. We show that long fibers aligned with the flow experience a buckling instability. Competition between viscous and elasti ...

Gazebo Fluids: SPH-based simulation of fluid interaction with articulated rigid body dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill, Wei Wang, Emmanouil Angelidis

Physical simulation is an indispensable component of robotics simulation platforms that serves as the basis for a plethora of research directions. Looking strictly at robotics, the common characteristic of the most popular physics engines, such as ODE, DAR ...

We combine theory, numerical simulation, and experiments to investigate the breakup of two identical droplets entering a Y-junction with controlled spatial offset by which the second droplet trails the first. Based on fully resolved 3D simulations, we desc ...

Transport of flexible fibers in confined microchannels

François Gallaire, Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert, Jean Cappello

When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional coupling between fiber deformation and transport and is expected to lead to m ...

Microstructured Multimaterial Fibers for Microfluidic Sensing

Fabien Sorin, Wei Yan, Alexis Gérald Page, Dang Tùng Nguyen, Chaoqun Dong

The thermal drawing of a uniform capillary-like fiber that integrates an encapsulated microchannel and an embedded capacitor system within a polymeric cladding is demonstrated. Such a fiber construct has versatile functionalities applicable to microfluidic ...

Steep mountain streams exhibit shallow waters with roughness elements such as stones and pebbles that are comparable in size to flow depth. Owing to the difficulty in measuring fluid velocities at the interface, i.e., from the rough permeable bed to the fr ...

In this paper, we verify the large scale structure consistency relations using N-body simulations, including modes in the highly nonlinear regime. These relations (pointed out by Kehagias & Riotto and Peloso & Pietroni) follow from the symmetry of the dyna ...
