  • Optimization of synthetic jet actuation on a SD7003 airfoil in stall conditions 

    Monshi Tousi, Navid; El Mansy, Reda; Mellibovsky Elstein, Fernando; Bergadà Granyó, Josep Maria (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We optimise a set of Synthetic Jet (SJ) Active Flow Control (AFC) parameters on a SD7003 airfoil in order to maximise lift and aerodynamic efficiency. 2D-RANS with the Spallart Almaras (SA) turbulence model is employed in ...
  • Square cylinder downstream of two different-velocity streams 

    El Mansy, Reda; Monshi Tousi, Navid; Bergadà Granyó, Josep Maria; Mellibovsky Elstein, Fernando (2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    We study the flow past a square cylinder immersed in the wake of an upstream splitter plate separating two different-velocity streams. The bottom stream Reynolds number, ReB = 56 is kept constant for all cases, while the ...
  • Aerodynamic study of the NASA’s X-43A hypersonic aircraft 

    Navó, Alex; Bergadà Granyó, Josep Maria (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    A two-dimensional aerodynamic study of the NASA’s X-43A hypersonic aircraft is developed using two different approaches. The first one is analytical and based on the resolution of the oblique shock wave and Prandtl–Meyer ...
  • Capillary microfluidics for immunoassays by integrating 3D printing and pressure-sensitive adhesive 

    Azizian, Pooya; Guerrero-SanVicente, Elena; Grinyte, Ruta; Casals Terré, Jasmina; Cabot, Joan Marc (2021)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Herein, we present a versatile immunoassay device made by 3D-printed (3DP) multilevel microfluidic chip sealed by an optically clear Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA). The bioreceptors were effectively immobilized on the ...
  • 3D skin microfluidic phantom for in vitro wearable testing 

    Rabost Garcia, Genís; Carreras Gallo, Óscar; Colmena, Valeria; Aguilar, Javier; Punter Villagrasa, Jaime; Muñoz Pascual, Francesc Xavier; Farré Lladós, Josep; Casals Terré, Jasmina (2020)
    Conference lecture

    A standardized and cost-effective perspiration phantom for in vitro testing is needed to replace the variable and resource consuming human tests at research level. Here, an alternative to the existing devices, which mainly ...
  • 3D-printing and computational fluid dynamics "meet" paperbased microfluidics for enhanced flow control in difusive sensors 

    López Martínez, Joan Antoni; Fernández, Pau; Mehrdel, Pouya; Casals Terré, Jasmina (2020)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper proposes combination of a 3D printed cartridge and paper-based microfluidic design that minimizes the amount of sample required to achieve the best control over the diffusion Y-microfluidic mixers. The use of ...
  • Multilevel passive microfluidics for electrochemical biosensors 

    Azizian, Pooya; Ortega Novillo, Adrián; Ricart Campos, Jordi; Casals Terré, Jasmina; Cabot, Joan Marc (2020)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Herein, we present a proof-of-concept 3D (multilevel) passive microfluidic device for point-of-care applications including electrochemical biosensors. Multiphase flow (air-water interface) within multilevel microchannels ...
  • Potencial de la celulosa en la construcción de nuevos materiales 

    Vidal Lluciá, Teresa; Torres López, Antonio Luis; Valls Vidal, Cristina; Cusola Aumedes, Oriol; López Martínez, Joan Antoni; Fernández Santos, Julia; Clemente Escuin, Antonio; Roncero Vivero, María Blanca; Casals Terré, Jasmina; Farré Lladós, Josep (2019)
