Microfluidics has great potential, but the complexity of fabricating and operating devices has
limited its use. Here we describe a method — Freestyle Fluidics — that overcomes many …

This paper investigates the mechanisms leading to enhanced heat and/or mass transfer rates
in two-phase non-boiling slug flows. The problem is analyzed in a minichannel geometry …

Many proofs of concept have demonstrated the potential of microfluidics in cell biology.
However, the technology remains inaccessible to many biologists, as it often requires complex …

Bacteria commonly live in surface-associated communities where steep gradients of
antibiotics and other chemical compounds can occur. While many bacterial species move on …

An effective transformation of the cell culture dishes that biologists use every day into microfluidic
devices would open many avenues for miniaturizing cell-based workflows. In this article…

The objective of this investigation is to give experimental support to recent direct numerical
simulation (DNS) results which demonstrated that in bypass transition the flow first breaks …

This paper investigates a two-phase non-boiling slug flow regime for the purposes of enhancing
heat transfer in microchannel heat sinks or compact heat exchangers. The primary focus …

There is an unmet demand for microfluidics in biomedicine. This paper describes contactless
fabrication of microfluidic circuits on standard Petri dishes using just a dispensing needle, …

The aqueous phase in traditional microfluidics is usually confined by solid walls; flows through
such systems are often predicted accurately. As solid walls limit access, open systems are …

By employing results of direct numerical simulations, it is possible to examine entropy
generation due to friction in the viscous layers of turbulent flows with significant streamwise …
