Designing synthetic, pumping cilia that switch the flow direction in microchannels.
Using computational modeling, we simulate the 3D movement of actuated cilia in a fluid-filled microchannel. The cilia are modeled as deformable, elastic filaments, and the simulations capture the complex fluid-structure interactions among these filaments, the channel walls, and the surrounding solut...
