Wedged Vortex Generator Applications for Marine Vessels
… wedge-shaped VGs as the optimal design for flow manipulation. Comparative testing of three wedge shaped VG sizes at 1.3 m/s revealed the most effective configuration, which was subsequently evaluated across speeds ranging from 1.0 m/s to 1.6 m/s. The results showed a viscous drag reduction …

Manipulating fluids and fields In multimaterial fibers
… various applications. As a conduit for fluids flowing in the axial direction of the fiber, we explore new regimes in inertial microfluidics by leveraging the geometric tunability of fiber channel cross-sections. By integrating electrodes onto the channel surface, we later design a microfluidic …

Single molecule studies of polymers and self-assembling materials: Effects of chain topology and entanglements
… and functional materials in nonequilibrium flow conditions is of key importance for controlling materials properties during processing, which often involves highly nonequilibrium states that cannot be understood in terms of equilibrium principles or thermodynamics. From this view, it is …

End-to-end security in active networks
… the effect on end-to-end security of active flow manipulation. This thesis first examines the threat model implicit in active networks. It develops a framework of security protocols in use at various layers of the networking stack, and their utility to multimedia transport and flow …

Study and applications of liquid behavior on microtextured solid surfaces
… water-repelling surfaces for daily use to fluid flow manipulation in lab on chip devices and inhibiting corrosion of machinery. Given the ubiquitous interaction of liquids with solids, these applications only represent a drop in the seemingly endless ocean of opportunities. Thus it is not …

The effect of environmental factors on the dynamics of bacterial populations associated with coral colonies and the implications for holobiont health
… Furthermore, although we know that water flow can serve as an ameliorator of thermal stress in corals, there is a lack of information about how water flow affects the bacterial community structure during stressful times. Research described in this thesis aimed to understand, using …
