Although negligible at large scales, capillary forces may become dominant for submillimetric
objects. Surface tension is usually associated with the spherical shape of small droplets and …

Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades:
the observations of regular wave patterns in film flows down a windowpane or along …

Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Practical Approach, Fourth Edition is an introduction to
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) fundamentals and commercial CFD software to solve …

Although negligible at macroscopic scales, capillary forces become dominant as the sub-
millimetric scales of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are considered. We review …

The displacement of one fluid by another is one of the most common processes involving
interfacial instabilities. It is universally accepted that, in a uniform medium, flow displacement …

Computational modelling of the lungs is an active field of study that integrates computational
advances with lung biophysics, biomechanics, physiology and medical imaging to promote …

The shape of the arterial pulse wave is intimately related to the physical properties of the
cardiovascular system. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this relation is clinically …

Studies using this micro-system demonstrated significant morphological differences
between alveolar epithelial cells (transformed human alveolar epithelial cell line, A549 and …

Purpose: To review control mechanisms for blood flow in the choroid, propose a system by
which venous outflow is controlled by a Starling resistor, and propose an explanation for the …
