Passive control of viscous flow via elastic snap-through
We demonstrate the passive control of viscous flow in a channel by using an elastic arch embedded in the flow. Depending on the fluid flux, the arch may ‘snap’ between two states — constricting and unconstricting — that differ in hydraulic conductivity by up to an order of magnitude. We use a combin...
