Abstract: A method is presented whereby the translational velocity of a vortex ring can be approximated from the total circulation, impulse, and kinetic energy of the vortex system. Assuming a uniform vorticity density, these bulk ...

Abstract: Internal recirculation in a moving droplet, enforced by the presence of fluid–fluid interfaces, plays an important role in several dropletbased microfluidic devices as it could enhance mixing, heat transfer, and chemical ...

Abstract: Abstract. Soft robotic grippers have the potential for dexterous manipulation of delicate, irregularly shaped objects that conventional end effectors lack the finesse to handle; however, the infinite dimensionality resulting ...
