Fluid-structure interactions enable passive flow control in real and biomimetic plants

چکیده
Microscale intercellular pores of tree conduit contain flexible elements that locally restrict flow in response to mechanical stress. This facilitates autonomous control which the cells collectively steer water across tissue strikingly complex patterns. With this insight, we are able design physically programmable inline devices operate without a central unit. We expect new approach will strongly impact flow-engineering, due its conceptual simplicity and low cost.

Investigating Fluid Mixing in Electro-Osmotic Flow Through Passive Micro-Mixers Having Square and Triangle Barriers
Objective: In this article, a numerical study is conducted on mixing of two fluids in the liquid phase with two different concentrations of a chemical species in the electro-osmotic flow. Methods: The base liquid is an electrolyte which flows in a two-dimensional micro-channel having electrically charged walls. Lorentz electric force, which is used as stimulating flow factor, is created by appl...

متن کاملAnalysis and Control of Nonlinear Flow-structure Interactions
We consider an aeroelastic model known as a nonlinear flow-structure interaction, which describes the oscillations of a thin, flexible plate immersed in a potential flow. This model is used to study the phenomenon known as flutter, which involves the coupling of the plate’s vibrational modes with the aerodynamic load. Here, we treat this problem from a partial differential equations point of vi...
