We present a microfluidic device capable of patterning linear biofilm formations using a flow templating approach. We describe the design considerations and fabrication methodology of a two level flow-templating micro-bioreactor (FT-μBR), which generates a biofilm growth stream surrounded on 3 sides by a growth inhibiting confinement stream. Through a combination of experiments and simulations ...

Abstract The mixing between the coolant and boundary-layer gas downstream of an injector—for transpiration/film cooling—has been extensively studied for turbulent flows; however, only a handful studies concerning laminar exist, particularly in hypersonic flows. In this paper, concentration at wall heat flux reduction transpiring injector flow are experimentally measured examined. Experiments pe...
