Passive microscopic fluidic diodes using asymmetric channels

In this paper, we propose a passive microscopic fluidic diodes with no moving parts for simple fluids using asymmetric channel structures. Finite element simulations demonstrate that the fluidic diode conducts water flows preferentially in one forward direction while blocks flows in the reverse dire...
