Experiments have shown that flow in compliant microchannels can become unstable at a much lower Reynolds number than the corresponding rigid conduit. Therefore, it has been suggested wall's elastic compliance be exploited towards new modalities of microscale mixing. While previous studies mainly focused on local instability induced by fluid--structure interactions (FSIs) system, we derive one-d...

in this study, mixed convection heat transfer and local and global entropy generation in aventilated square cavity have been investigated numerically. the natural convection effect isachieved by a constant heat flux imposed at the bottom wall and cooled by injecting a coldfollow. in order to investigate the effect of port location, four different placementconfigurations of the inlet and outlet ...
