Unsteady fluid--structure interactions in a soft-walled microchannel: A one-dimensional lubrication model for finite Reynolds number

Tanmay C. Inamdar, Xiaojia Wang, Ivan C. Christov

We develop a one-dimensional model for the unsteady fluid--structure interaction (FSI) between a soft-walled microchannel and viscous fluid flow within it. A beam equation, which a…
