This paper develops new insights into quantitative methods for the validation of
computational model prediction. Four types of methods are investigated, namely classical …

This review presents the fundamentals of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with
microcantilever probes and their use as fluidic sensors for the measurement of …

Microcantilever (MC) sensors have become a more attractive technique for gas phase
sensing during recent years. The purpose of this review is to critically summarize the recent …

A study is presented of the thermal-mechanical noise and response to sound of
microphones that are designed to be driven by the viscous forces in air rather than by sound …

Molecular dynamics (MD) method is used to simulate shear driven argon gas flows in the
early transition and free molecular flow regimes to investigate surface effects as a function of …

A numerical method is developed for solving three-dimensional, unsteady, incompressible
flows with immersed moving solids of arbitrary geometric complexity. A co-located …

Sequential numerical solution methods are commonly used for solving the phonon
Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) because of simplicity of implementation and low storage …

Interactions of nanoscale structures with fluids are of current interest both in the elucidation
of fluid dynamics at these small scales, and in determining the ultimate performance of …

We describe sensing of chemical vapors from the atmosphere using critically buckled
polycrystalline silicon doubly clamped mechanical resonators coated on one side with …

In this paper, we study the hydrodynamics induced by an ionic polymer metal composite
(IPMC) cantilever vibrating in a quiescent fluid. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry is …
