Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), is a meshfree, Lagrangian, particle method, which
is advantageous over conventional grid-based numerical methods in the aspect of interface …

In Nature, directional surfaces on insect cuticle, animal fur, bird feathers, and plant leaves
are composed of dual micro‐nanoscale features that tune roughness and surface energy …

It is of both fundamental and practical interest to study the flow physics in the manipulation of
droplets. In this paper, we investigate complex flow in liquid droplets actuated by a linear …

In this work, the motion of a two-dimensional drop on a surface with stepwise wettability
gradient (WG) is studied numerically by a hybrid lattice-Boltzmann finite-difference method …

We report a simple method for creating a nanopatterned surface with continuous variation in
feature height on an elastomeric thin film. The technique is based on imprinting the surface …

The present study preludes the different modes of droplet manipulation using the
electrostatic actuation as the driving potential and its association specifically for microfluidics …

Magnetorheological fluid (MRF), as a smart material, plays a pivotal role in sealing
equipment. However, the interfacial compatibility between MRF and metal significantly …

Single-cell analysis techniques have been developed as a valuable bioanalytical tool for
elucidating cellular heterogeneity at genomic, proteomic, and cellular levels. Cell …

We propose dielectrophoretic force driven coalescence of droplets having equal or
nonequal sizes with an electrode base actuation system over a solid surface. Coupled …

Collecting water from dew, foggy wind or moisture present in the air recently has been
recognized as a method to solve water shortage. In this paper, the directional fog harvesting …
