Flow of Liquid Metals through Curved Circular Channels with a Transverse Magnetic Field (1st Report, Flow in Electrically Insulating Channels)

Transverse flow in thin superhydrophobic channels.

We provide some general theoretical results to guide the optimization of transverse hydrodynamic phenomena in superhydrophobic channels. Our focus is on the canonical micro- and nanofluidic geometry of a parallel-plate channel with an arbitrary two-component (low-slip and high-slip) coarse texture, varying on scales larger than the channel thickness. By analyzing rigorous bounds on the permeabi...

Numerical simulation of nanofluids flow and heat transfer through isosceles triangular channels

Nanofluids are stable suspensions of nanoparticles in conventional heat transfer fluids (base fluids) that exhibit better thermal characteristics compared to those of the base fluids. It is important to clarify various aspects of nanofluids behavior. In order to identify the thermal and hydrodynamic behavior of nanofluids flowing through non-circular ducts, in the present study the laminar flow...

Steady Mixed Convection Flow of Water at 4◦C Along A Non-Isothermal Vertical Moving Plate with Transverse Magnetic Field

Dean flow-coupled inertial focusing in curved channels.

Passive particle focusing based on inertial microfluidics was recently introduced as a high-throughput alternative to active focusing methods that require an external force field to manipulate particles. In inertial microfluidics, dominant inertial forces cause particles to move across streamlines and occupy equilibrium positions along the faces of walls in flows through straight micro channels...

mean flow and turbulence in compound channels with vegetated floodplains

the study of flow in compound channels with vegetated floodplains is essential to assessing the development of the stage-discharge relationship and sediment and pollutant transport. the present study experimentally investigated mean flow and turbulence characteristics in a prismatic compound channel. the experimental program consisted of vegetated and non-vegetated floodplains with different re...
