Abstract

Hydrodynamic metamaterials are artificial materials that can alter the physical properties of fluid flow such as effective viscosity, density, or permeability in unique and innovative ways. For such reasons, they have received considerable attention in the last years because of their novel flow control capabilities. In this course, the theory and principles of hydrodynamic metamaterials are first introduced. Then, the different functions that can be realized through hydrodynamic metamaterials (e.g., microfluidics, exotic fluids, hydrodynamic cloaking) will be illustrated by considering porous media, non-porous media, creeping flows, and non-creeping flows.

Course Format

The Course is taught in 🇬🇧️ ENGLISH and offered

  • On-site
