Planetary Exploration Using Biomimetics
The Mars environment, particularly the low atmospheric density, makes flight much more difficult than on Earth, requiring an aircraft to fly within a very low Reynolds number/high Mach number regime. A possible solution is the use of an entomopter, a mechanical flying machine utilizing insect flight characteristics. Their similar Reynolds number flight regime indicates air vehicle system potent...
متن کاملFully Coupled Computational Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Microfluidics Applications
Microfluidics (MF) applications encompass a plethora of physical phenomena, which makes their modeling an extremely difficult task. A multitude of driving forces (pressure gradients, electric field, surface tension etc.) are utilized in various combinations to achieve best results. Also rigorously utilized are the electro-chemical properties of the resident fluid and analytes, which are manifes...
متن کاملFlow Rate Measurement in Microfluidics Using Optical Sensors
A system using low-cost and off-the-shelf electronic components for measuring very low flow rates of liquids is reported. The system records the time duration a liquid column needs to travel, in a transparent capillary, between two optical sensors. The average flow rate is then calculated from the time duration, the distance of the two sensors, and the diameter of the capillary. Our first proto...
متن کاملBlood flow multiscale phenomena.
The cardiovascular disease is one of most frequent cause deaths in modern society. The objective of this work is analyse the effect of dynamic vascular geometry (curvature, torsion, bifurcation) and pulsatile blood nature on secondary flow, wall shear stress and platelet deposition. The problem was examined as multi-scale physical phenomena using perturbation analysis and numerical modelling. T...
متن کاملModelling of Hypersonic Flow Phenomena
Forewords Computational Fluid Dynamic is becoming a mature discipline in aerospace sciences. It is no longer only an analysis tool but ready to be used in all stages of design as well. The materials here presented review the growth and advances done in the last 10 years for hypersonic flow phenomena in continuum regime. The status of the physical modelling, code development issues such as algor...
