In this study, using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation, the flow of water in deformed carbon nanotubes is studied for two water models TIP4P/2005 and SPC/FH. The results demonstrated a non-uniform dependence of the flow on the…

We show that long-range and robust acoustic pulling can be achieved by using a pair of one-way chiral surface waves supported on the interface between two phononic crystals composed of spinning cylinders with equal but opposite spinning…

We describe an approach for modeling fluid concentration profiles in grid-based microfluidic chips for fluid mixing. This approach provides an algorithm that predicts fluid concentrations at the chip outlets. Our algorithm significantly…

We present a user-friendly and versatile experimental technique that generates sub-kilohertz sinusoidal oscillatory flows within microchannels. The method involves the direct interfacing of microfluidic tubing with a loudspeaker diaphragm…

Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow in a channel with one rigid and one viscoelastic wall are performed. An Eulerian-Eulerian model is adopted with a level-set approach to identify the fluid-compliant material interface. Focus is…

Acoustic handling of nanoparticles in resonating acoustofluidic devices is often impeded by the presence of acoustic streaming. For micrometer-sized acoustic chambers, this acoustic streaming is typically driven from the fluid-solid…

Motivated by recent experiments [Science {\bf 299}, 1042 (2003)] reporting that carbon nanotubes immersed in a flowing fluid displayed an electric current and voltage, we numerically study the behaviour of a collection of Brownian particles…

This report introduces a novel optofluidic platform based on piezo-MEMS technology, capable of identifying subtle variations in the fluid concentration. The system utilizes piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (PMUTs) as…

The flow near a moving contact line depends on the dynamic contact angle, viscosity ratio, and capillary number. We report experiments involving immersing a plate into a liquid bath, concurrently measuring the interface shape, interfacial…

Two-dimensional laminar flow of a viscous fluid induced by peristalsis due to a moving wall wave has been studied previously for a rectangular channel, a circular tube, and a concentric circular annulus. Here we study peristaltic flow in a…

We investigate the interaction between wall-bounded turbulence and defect-embedded phononic subsurface (D-Psub) using a weakly coupled fluid--structure framework, in which the flow and structure are advanced sequentially without…

Flows enabled by phoretic mechanisms are of significant interest in several biological and biomedical processes, such as bacterial motion and targeted drug delivery. Here, we develop a homogenization-based macroscopic boundary condition…

A generalized approach to decompose the compressible Navier-Stokes equations into an equivalent set of coupled equations for flow and acoustics is introduced. As a significant extension to standard hydrodynamic/acoustic splitting methods,…

We demonstrate that the permeability of the cell wall of microalga $\textit{C. reinhardtii}$ can be enhanced in controlled microstreaming flow conditions using single bubbles adherent to a wall and driven by ultrasound near their resonance…

Granular flow dynamics on a vertically vibrated pile is studied by means of both laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. As already revealed, the depth-averaged velocity of a fully-fluidized granular pile under strong vibration,…

A sensitive porosity adjoint method (SPAM) for optimizing the topology of fluid machines has been proposed. A sensitivity function with respect to the porosity has been developed. In the first step of the optimization process, porous media…

Certain cyanobacteria, such as open ocean strains of Synechococcus, are able to swim at speeds up to 25 diameters per second, without flagella or visible changes in shape. The means by which Synechococcus generates thrust for…

The atmospheric incoming flow of a wind turbine is intimately connected to its power production as well as its structural stability. Here we present an incoming flow measurement of a utility-scale turbine at the high spatio-temporal…

Amorphous glassy materials of diverse nature -- concentrated emulsions, granular materials, pastes, molecular glasses -- display complex flow properties, intermediate between solid and liquid, which are at the root of their use in many…

The interior of nanoscale crystals experiences stress that compensates the capillary forces and that can be large, in the order of 1 GPa. Various studies have speculated on whether and how this surface-induced stress affects the stability…
