Microfluidic devices manufactured from soft polymeric materials have emerged as a
paradigm for cheap, disposable and easy-to-prototype fluidic platforms for integrating …

With the continuous development of the lab-on-a-chip studies, pressure measurements in
microchannels have become the guarantee of the precise control and regulation of trace …

Motivated by problems arising in the pneumatic actuation of controllers for micro-
electromechanical systems, labs-on-a-chip or biomimetic soft robots, and the study of …

In conventional microfluidic devices, fluids are often confined behind solid plastic walls that
restrict access and trap gas bubbles; in open microfluidics some solid walls are replaced by …

We investigate the transient, fluid–structure interaction (FSI) of a non-Newtonian fluid
peeling two Hookean sheets at low Reynolds numbers (R e≪ 1). Two different non …

Viscous flows through configurations manufactured or naturally assembled from soft
materials apply both pressure and shear stress at the solid-liquid interface, leading to …

We theoretically analyze the interaction between a viscoelastic fluid flow, whose constitutive
equation is the simplified Phan–Thien–Tanner model, and a deformable slender shallow …

Experiments have shown that flow in compliant microchannels can become unstable at a
much lower Reynolds number than the corresponding flow in a rigid conduit. Therefore, it …

We explore air invasion in a dead-end compliant water-filled microchannel containing a
constriction. The phenomenon is driven by the pervaporation of the liquid present in the …

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 …
