Pulse-width modulation is a nice way to create pseudo analog outputs from a microcontroller (eg, an Arduino), which is limited to digital output signals. The quality of the analog output signal depends on the filter one uses to average out…

We numerically investigate the flow control problem of the flow passing a stationary cylinder at a fixed Reynold number 500 using two attached control cylinders with different rotation rates. Compared to the traditional uniform (lattice)…
We present a particle method for estimating the curvature of interfaces in volume-of-fluid simulations of multiphase flows. The method is well suited for under-resolved interfaces, and it is shown to be more accurate than the parabolic…
Leak detection and water quality monitoring are requirements and challenging tasks in Water Distribution Systems (WDS). In-line robots are designed for this aim. In our previous work, we designed an in-pipe robot [1]. In this research, we…
Microfluidics involves the manipulation of flows at the microscale, typically requiring external power sources to generate pressure gradients. Alternatively, harnessing flows from active fluids, which are usually chaotic, has been proposed…
Fluid flow along microchannels can be induced by keeping opposite walls at different temperatures, and placing elongated tilted pillars inside the channel. The driving force for this fluid motion arises from the anisotropic thermophoretic…
