Oscillatory flows in compliant conduits at arbitrary Womersley number
Shrihari D. Pande, Xiaojia Wang, Ivan C. Christov
We develop a theory of fluid--structure interaction (FSI) between an oscillatory Newtonian fluid flow and a compliant conduit. We consider the canonical geometries of a 2D channel…
Flow rate--pressure drop relations for new configurations of slender compliant tubes arising in microfluidics experiments
Xiaojia Wang, Shrihari D. Pande, Ivan C. Christov
We investigate the steady-state fluid--structure interaction between a Newtonian fluid flow and a deformable microtube in two novel geometric configurations arising in recent micro…
Reduced modelling and global instability of finite-Reynolds-number flow in compliant rectangular channels
Xiaojia Wang, Ivan C. Christov
Experiments have shown that flow in compliant microchannels can become unstable at a much lower Reynolds number than the corresponding flow in a rigid conduit. Therefore, it has be…
Reduced models of unidirectional flows in compliant rectangular ducts at finite Reynolds number
Xiaojia Wang, Ivan C. Christov
Soft hydraulics, which addresses the interaction between an internal flow and a compliant conduit, is a central problem in microfluidics. We analyze Newtonian fluid flow in a recta…
Soft Hydraulics in Channels with Thick Walls: The Finite-Reynolds-Number Base State and Its Stability
Xiaojia Wang, Ivan C. Christov
We analyze the linear stability of the base state of the problem of coupled flow and deformation in a long and shallow rectangular soft hydraulic conduit with a thick top wall. Spe…
Theory of the flow-induced deformation of shallow compliant microchannels with thick walls
Xiaojia Wang, Ivan C. Christov
Long, shallow microchannels embedded in thick soft materials are widely used in microfluidic devices for lab-on-a-chip applications. However, the bulging effect caused by fluid--st…
