One-way flow over uniformly heated U-shaped bodies driven by thermal edge effects
Abstract The thermal edge flow is a gas flow typically induced near a sharp edge (or a tip) of a uniformly heated (or cooled) flat plate. This flow has potential applicability as a nonmechanical pump or flow controller in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). However, it has a shortcoming: the ther...
