The Soret effect describes diffusive motion that originates from a temperature gradient. It is
observed in mixtures of gases, liquids and even solids. Although there is a formal …

Thermophoresis is particle motion induced by thermal gradients. Akin to other driven
transport processes, such as the Soret effect in simple fluid mixtures, or electrophoresis and …

A temperature gradient acts like an external field on colloidal suspensions and drives the
solute particles to the cold or to the warm, depending on interfacial and solvent properties …

Photoanodes consisting of nanostructured hematite prepared by atmospheric pressure
chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) have previously set a benchmark for solar water …

In lab-on-chip devices, on which complete (bio-) chemical analysis laboratories are
miniaturized and integrated, it is essential to manipulate fluids in sub-millimetre channels …

In the last two decades, advances in micro‐and nanofabrication have enabled the
development of a wide variety of active or “self‐propelling” microparticles, which convert …

A review of compressibility and rarefaction effects on spherical particle drag was conducted
based on existing experimental data, theoretical limits, and direct simulation Monte Carlo …

A revision of Newton's law of viscosity appearing in the role of the deviatoric stress tensor in
the Navier–Stokes equation is proposed for the case of compressible fluids, both gaseous …

Flow assurance is critical and difficult for deepwater pipeline since the seawater
temperature, surrounding pipeline, is usually much colder than the surface air temperature …

A recent development, inspired by nature, is the use of 'artificial cilia'to create pumping
and/or mixing in microfluidic devices. Cilia are small hairs that can be found in biology and …
