Laminar flow in devices fabricated from soft materials causes deformation of the passage
geometry, which affects the flow rate–pressure drop relation. For a given pressure drop, in …

We investigate the effect of Navier type slip for the steady, laminar flow of a highly viscous
and incompressible Newtonian fluid in a microfluidic channel with variable geometry for one …

The effect of distributed bubble nuclei sizes on shock propagation in a bubbly liquid is
numerically investigated. An ensemble-averaged technique is employed to derive the …

Lubrication theory is used widely due to its simplicity and accuracy in many circumstances
such as for the modeling of thin fluid films, the motion of particles near surfaces, and the flow …

Motivated by problems arising in the pneumatic actuation of controllers for micro-
electromechanical systems, labs-on-a-chip or biomimetic soft robots, and the study of …

The detonation-powered underwater engine, with the advantages of high specific impulse,
high speed, and simple structure, has very broad application prospects in the field of …

Momentum transfer from shock waves (SWs) of various intensity (from 0.05 MPa to 0.5 MPa
in amplitude) to water containing air bubbles 2.5 to 4 mm of mean diameter is studied both …

Propagation of detonation waves crossing the gas–liquid interface is a basic phenomenon
worth studying for underwater detonation engines. In this work, the pressure evolution of …

Carbon dioxide is an attractive alternative to conventional refrigerants due to its low direct
global warming effects. Unfortunately, CO2 and many alternative refrigerants have lower …

We devise a novel method for treating bubbles in incompressible flow that relies on the
conservative advection of bubble mass and an associated equation of state in order to …
