Surface roughness can significantly influence the fluid dynamics and heat transfer in
convective flows by inducing perturbations in the velocity profile which affect surface drag …

Complex fluid flow in porous media is ubiquitous in many natural and industrial processes.
Direct visualization of the fluid structure and flow dynamics is critical for understanding and …

Depleting energy resources have become the driving force for their conservation. Increasing
the system efficiencies is one method by which sustainability of energy may be ensured, for …

A lattice Boltzmann algorithm for fluid–solid conjugate heat transfer is developed. A new
generalized heat generation implement is presented and a “half lattice division” treatment for …

Heat transfer by conduction in the walls of mini–micro-channels can get a quite
multidimensional character. The wall heat flux density, for small Reynolds numbers, can …

This review is focused on molecular momentum transport at fluid-solid interfaces mainly
related to microfluidics and nanofluidics in micro-/nano-electro-mechanical systems …

With the rapid development of the information technology (IT) industry, the heat flux in
integrated circuit (IC) chips cooled by air has almost reached its limit about 100W/cm2 …

In relation to the time-scale of chemical kinetics, diffusive transport in micro-devices is faster
than in conventional mixers. To exploit the resulting potential for chemical process …

We consider the problem of liquid and gas flow in micro-channels under conditions of a
small Knudsen and Mach numbers, that correspond to continuum model. Data from the …

Experimental observations of liquid microchannel flows are reviewed and results of
computer experiments concerning channel entrance, wall slip, non-Newtonian fluid, surface …
