Abstract
Motivated by modelling challenges arising in microfluidics and low-Reynolds-number swimming, we consider viscous flows in two-dimensional channels and present new transform methods for analysing such problems. The new methods provide a unified general approach to finding quasi-analytical solutions to a wide range of problems in low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics and plane elasticity. In this talk, we focus on pressure-driven flows in channel geometries with linear expansions and angled transitions. This is joint work with Prof. Stefan G. Llewellyn Smith (UCSD).
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
