Drinking water supply and distribution systems are critical infrastructure that has to be well maintained for the safety of the public. One important tool in the maintenance of water distribution systems (WDS) is flushing. Flushing is a…

The paper deals with the new control method developed for the pressure sewer systems. This method eliminates the disadvantages of currently common used on-off regulation. The major disadvantage is a transition of inconstancies of the…

Multiscale mixed methods based on non-overlapping domain decompositions can efficiently handle the solution of significant subsurface flow problems in very heterogeneous formations of interest to the industry, especially when implemented on…

A two-phase, low-Mach-number flow solver is created and verified for variable-density liquid and gas with phase change. The interface is sharply captured using a split Volume-of-Fluid method generalized for a non-divergence-free liquid…

Novel experimental modalities acquire spatially resolved velocity measurements for steady state and transient flows which are of interest for engineering and biological applications. One of the drawbacks of such high resolution velocity…

This paper introduces a new methodology for designing and optimizing the performance of hydraulic Cross-Flow turbines for a wide range of operating conditions. The methodology is based on a one-step approach for the system-level design…

A novel micromixing technique that exploit a thrust of droplets into the mixing interface is developed. The technique enhances the mixing by injecting immiscible droplets in a mixing channel and the methodology enables a control of the…

We report a novel technique to passively create strong secondary flows at moderate to high flow rates in microchannels, accurately control them and finally, due to their deterministic nature, program them into microfluidic platforms. Based…

Modeling flow in geosystems with natural fault is a challenging problem due to low permeability of fault compared to its surrounding porous media. One way to predict the behavior of the flow while taking the effects of fault into account is…

Underwater soft grippers exhibit potential for applications such as monitoring, research, and object retrieval. However, existing underwater gripping techniques frequently cause disturbances to ecosystems. In response to this challenge, we…

We propose to drive open microfluidic systems by shear in a covering fluid layer, e.g., oil covering water-filled chemical channels. The advantages as compared to other means of pumping are simpler forcing and prevention of evaporation of…

Motion planning for underwater vehicles must consider the effect of ocean currents. We present an efficient method to compute reachability and cost between sample points in sampling-based motion planning that supports long-range planning…

For simulating incompressible flows by projection methods. it is generally accepted that the pressure-correction stage is the most time-consuming part of the flow solver. The objective of the present work is to develop a fast hybrid…

Vessel segmentation is an essential task in many clinical applications. Although supervised methods have achieved state-of-art performance, acquiring expert annotation is laborious and mostly limited for two-dimensional datasets with a…

Liquid dispensing and writing in the extremely small size regime are important for applications in many current technologies, such as micro/nano fabrication, biological/chemical patterning and analysis, and drug discovery. Most of current…

Drying concentrated slurry waste is slow, particularly due to the entrapment and limited accessibility of water entrained between the particles in the slurry. A sailboat evaporator with a root-like structure is a new system that enables…

In this paper, we present a novel flow model and compensation strategy for high-viscosity fluid deposition that yields high quality parts in the face of large transient delays and nonlinearity. Robotic high-viscosity fluid deposition is an…

Microfluidic devices manufactured from soft polymeric materials have emerged as a paradigm for cheap, disposable and easy-to-prototype fluidic platforms for integrating chemical and biological assays and analyses. The interplay between the…

The paper describes a novel concept for a low cost microfluidic platform utilizing materials and processes used in low cost thermal inkjet printing. The concept re-purposes the jetting elements to create pumps, mixers, and valves all…

Subsampling of node sets is useful in contexts such as multilevel methods, computer graphics, and machine learning. On uniform grid-based node sets, the process of subsampling is simple. However, on node sets with high density variation,…
