Electrokinetic transport of fluids has been investigated both experimentally and numerically due to its various applications in microfluidic devices [1-5]. These devices offer the advantage of transporting fluids or particles to specific locations without the aid of mechanical ... En savoir plus
Corals are symbiotic marine organisms greatly dependent on the dynamic gradients of light, temperature and chemical species, all affected by the water flow in their surroundings. We developed a multiphysics modelling approach to simulate the microscale spatial distribution of light, ... En savoir plus
PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ...

Efficient mixing and pumping of liquids at the microscale is a technology that is still to be optimized. The combination of an AC electric field with a small temperature gradient leads to a strong electrothermal flow that can be used for multiple purposes. Combining simulations and ... En savoir plus
This study presents a novel microfluidic chip integrated with biosensors and capillary microfluidics, specifically designed for target screening and precise fluid control. The capillary pumps facilitate spontaneous fluid delivery to the sensors, eliminating the necessity for external ... En savoir plus
A new type of radiator with a package of combs, to gain a larger area for heat exchange, instead of trapezoidal convector plates, is investigated. The main aim is to find the optimal comb diameter. To solve this problem, CFD (computational fluid dynamics) with COMSOL Multiphysics is ... En savoir plus
During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... En savoir plus
Study of interaction of drops and bubbles with electric field is important for understanding the physics involved in various physical phenomenas and industrial processes. Important applications arise in colloidal systems (Miller and Scriven, 1970), meteorology and cloud physics (Sartor, ... En savoir plus
In this paper, the topic of frequency-controlled manipulation of sinking particles in a stationary liquid column based on AC dielectrophoresis is studied in depth. Particles sink downwards within a liquid column due to the gravitational force. In doing so, they are subjected to Stokes ... En savoir plus
In the medical field the risk assessment of strokes caused by pathological irregularities in the carotid artery bifurcation area plays a great role for the best patient’s treatment decision.The stroke risk evaluation by physicians traditionally incorporates evaluation of the stenosis ...
