An in vitro living system for flow rectification
Zhi Dou, Liu Hong, Zhengwei Li +7
Small - but finite - fluid inertia can be leveraged to generate steady flows out of liquid vibrations around an immersed interface. In engineering, external high-frequency drivers…
Coordinated Science Laboratory 70th Anniversary Symposium: The Future of Computing
Klara Nahrstedt, Naresh Shanbhag, Vikram Adve +25
In 2021, the Coordinated Science Laboratory CSL, an Interdisciplinary Research Unit at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, hosted the Future of Computing Symposium to cele…
Soft streaming -- flow rectification via elastic boundaries
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming is an efficient mechanism to exploit inertia at the microscale for flow control. While streaming from rigid features has been thoroughly investigated, when body c…
A remeshed vortex method for mixed rigid/soft body fluid--structure interaction
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
We outline a 2D algorithm for solving incompressible flow--structure interaction problems for mixed rigid/soft body representations, within a consistent framework based on the reme…
Elastica: A compliant mechanics environment for soft robotic control
Noel Naughton, Jiarui Sun, Arman Tekinalp +2
Soft robots are notoriously hard to control. This is partly due to the scarcity of models able to capture their complex continuum mechanics, resulting in a lack of control methodol…
Shape curvature effects in viscous streaming
Yashraj Bhosale, Tejaswin Parthasarathy, Mattia Gazzola
Viscous streaming flows generated by objects of constant curvature (circular cylinders, infinite plates) have been well understood. Yet, characterization and understanding of such…
