Using a Fractal Program to Model Vortical Flows
While extraordinarily complex in their physics, vortices have always been a part of human culture. This work presents a technique for simulating vortical flows using a fractal program on a personal computer. The resulting flows model real flows in some respects and demonstrate periodicity, chaos, and fractal structures. Also, the aesthetic interest of vortical flows introduces an opportunity fo...
متن کاملLabel-free single-cell separation and imaging of cancer cells using an integrated microfluidic system
The incidence of cancer is increasing worldwide and metastatic disease, through the spread of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), is responsible for the majority of the cancer deaths. Accurate monitoring of CTC levels in blood provides clinical information supporting therapeutic decision making, and improved methods for CTC enumeration are asked for. Microfluidics has been extensively used for this...
متن کاملMicrofluidic blood plasma separation via bulk electrohydrodynamic flows.
An effective mechanism for rapid and efficient microfluidic particle trapping and concentration is proposed without requiring any mechanically moving parts. When a voltage beyond the threshold atmospheric ionization value is applied on a sharp electrode tip mounted at an angle above a microfluidic liquid chamber, the bulk electrohydrodynamic air thrust that is generated results in interfacial s...
متن کاملA Localized Approximation Method for Vortical Flows
An approximation method of Moore for Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is formulated as a general method for two-dimensional, incompressible, inviscid flows generated by a vortex sheet. In this method the nonlocal equations describing evolution of the sheet are approximated by a system of (local) differential equations. These equations are useful for predicting singularity formation on the sheet and...
متن کاملMixing in vortical, chaotic and turbulent flows.
Mixing is discussed in relation to stirring as reflected in the geometry of advected interfaces, the behaviour of fluid-element pairs and their separation rates. Stirring is different in vortical, chaotic and turbulent flows because of qualitative differences in spatio-temporal flow structure, thus giving rise to different mixing laws. Important applications of the mixing and stirring propertie...
