The optimal design seeks the best possible solution (s) for a mechanical structure, device, or
system, satisfying a series of requirements and leading to the best performance. In this work …

Numerical optimization of a “six-arm cross-slot” device yields several three-dimensional
shapes of fluidic channels that impose close approximations to an ideal uniaxial (biaxial) …

The study of flow and particle dynamics in microfluidic cross-slot channels is of high
relevance for lab-on-a-chip applications. In this work, we investigate the dynamics of a rigid …

In this work, we optimise microfluidic converging/diverging geometries in order to produce
constant strain-rates along the centreline of the flow, for performing studies under …

Diverse chemical, energy, environmental, and industrial processes involve the flow of
polymer solutions in porous media. The accumulation and dissipation of elastic stresses as …
