Advances in material processing such as silicon micromachining are opening the way to vacuum microelectronics. Two-dimensional vacuum components can be fabricated using the microsystems processes. We developed such devices using a single…

This paper describes a simple yet novel system for generating a highly viscous microjet. The jet is produced inside a wettable thin tube partially submerged in a liquid. The gas-liquid interface inside the tube, which is initially concave,…

Energy harvesting based on tethered kites benefits from exploiting higher wind speeds at higher altitudes. The setup considered in this paper is based on a pumping cycle. It generates energy by winching out at high tether forces, driving an…

Melt electrowriting (MEW) is an extrusion-based additive manufacturing technology to create a complex construct with micro-scale fidelity. The elevated nozzle-to-collector distance of MEW needs a high requirement to control the charged jet,…

Active flow control (AFC) methods for jet-type flows have been extensively explored since the 1970s. Spectacular examples demonstrating the AFC power and the beauty of fluid mechanics include bifurcating and blooming jets. Recent advances…

Emerging 3D chips stacking and MEMS/Sensors packaging technologies are using DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) to etch through-silicon via (TSV) for advanced interconnections. The interconnection step can be done prior to or post CMOS…

Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) with the Bosch process is one of the key procedures used to manufacture micron-sized structures for MEMS and microfluidic applications in silicon and, hence, of increasing importance for miniaturization in…

Nowadays, several models of unidimensional fluid jets exploit discrete element methods. In some cases, as for models aiming at describing the electrospinning nanofabrication process of polymer fibers, discrete element methods suffer a non…

Dripping, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects while the latter on applications. Here, we intend to…

Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of borosilicate glass and profile control of an etched groove are reported. DRIE was carried out using an anodically bonded silicon wafer as an etching mask. We controlled the groove profile, namely…

Machine learning was applied to create a digital twin of a numerical simulation of a single-scroll jet engine. A similar model based on the insights gained from this numerical study was used to create a digital twin of a JetCat P100-RX jet…

Microfluidic chips provide unparalleled control over droplets and jets, which have advanced all natural sciences. However, microfluidic applications could be vastly expanded by increasing the per-channel throughput and directly exploiting…

We investigate the effect of wing twist flexibility on lift and efficiency of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle capable of liftoff. Wings used previously were chosen to be fully rigid due to modeling and fabrication constraints. However,…

An approach to control tethered wings for airborne wind energy is proposed. A fixed length of the lines is considered, and the aim of the control system is to obtain figure-eight crosswind trajectories. The proposed technique is based on…

There are numerous devices currently known with the purpose of reducing the irregularity of the flow upstream of the propeller and to decrease by that means the propeller-induced vibration and noise. Many of these devices are wing-shaped…

Thermal and ionization structures of self-similar, magnetically-driven disk winds obtained in a companion paper \cite{Garcia2001a} are used to compute a series of jet synthetic observations. These include spatially resolved forbidden line…

Insect-scale micro-aerial vehicles, especially lightweight, flapping-wing robots, are becoming increasingly important for safe motion sensing in spatially constrained environments such as living spaces. However, yaw control using flapping…
