A mobile microrobot is defined as a robot with a size ranging from 1 in3 down to 100 µm3 and a motion range of at least several times the robot's length. Mobile microrobots have a great potential for a wide range of mid-term and long-term applications such ...
Fluid-structure investigations in hydraulic machines using coupled simulations are extremely time-consuming; therefore we develop an alternative method. In this paper, a model is proposed to predict fluid-structure coupling by linearizing the hydrodynamic ...

The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of m ...
