We describe the general phenomenon of ‘induced-charge electro-osmosis’ (ICEO) –
the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic
charge it induces around a polarizable surface. Motivated by a simple physical picture,
we calculate ICEO…

The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping
foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was
designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as
the sole source of motive power for a cruising and…

We employ a three-dimensional, nonlinear inviscid numerical method, in conjunction
with experimental data from live fish and from a fish-like robotic mechanism, to
establish the three-dimensional features of the flow around a fish-like body swimming
in a straight line, and…

Direct numerical simulation is used to study the turbulent flow over a smooth wavy
wall undergoing transverse motion in the form of a streamwise travelling wave. The
Reynolds number based on the mean velocity U of the external flow and…

The MIT Libraries'€™ proposed to the Mellon Foundation to plan a preservation archive for
dynamic electronic journals (DEJA : a€“ Dynamic E-Journal Archive) that would be reliable, secure,
enduring, and sustainable over the long term. The Foundation'€™s own request for…

Current modeling of endothelial cell mechanics does not account for the network of F-actin that permeates the
cytoplasm. This network, the distributed cytoplasmic structural actin (DCSA), extends from apical to basal membranes, with
frequent attachments. Stress fibers are intercalated within…
