Sperm motility is a prerequisite for male fertility. Enhancing the concentration of motile sperms in assisted reproductive technologies - for human and animal reproduction - is typically achieved through aggressive methods such as centrifugation. Her

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) induces cell migration, invasion, and drug resistance, and consequently, contributes to cancer metastasis and disease aggressiveness. This study attempted to address crucial biological parameters to correlat

We investigate the dynamics of viscoplastic droplets under the combined action of electric field and shear flow by performing direct numerical simulations. The electro-hydrodynamic equations are solved in a two-dimensional finite volume framework, an

To understand the burgeoning challenges of metastasis, a microchannel of 35 μm diameter, constricted to 7 μm for a distance of 200 μm in a total length of 3 mm, was designed and fabricated using a mask aligner made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) t

Publikováno v: Volume 7: Fluids Engineering.

The formation and breakup of a liquid jet in air with gravity acting perpendicular to the direction of the jet is studied computationally. The liquid jet follows a parabolic path due to the influence of gravity which curves the jet trajectory. Both s
