Matthew J. Hancock, Ph.D. (meeting and project summary)

Projects

Gradient project (fwd-bkwd, convergent channel)

Self Assembly PDMS II (lead by Won Gu; providing theoretical support)

Hollow Spheres PDMS I (lead by Won Gu; providing theoretical support, planning expts)

Completed projects

Meetings

Meeting Date: 01-06-2009

Summary: gradient project

Action Plan:

- gradient: next: advection diffusion equation, same approx as for flow? Goal: theory writeup in 2 weeks

- other projects: work with BGC and MK on groove project, concentration

Progress on issues from last meeting:

- flow: Hele-Shaw (as in skalak93 paper) + Schwarz-Christoffel (floryan85, trefethen90, etc) for flow in channels of straight, convergent, arbitrary shape

- applies to fwd-bkwd flow and uni-directional flow; convergent channels

Meeting Date: 12-10-2008

Summary: gradient project

Action Plan: next: Hele-Shaw paradigm for approx solution for flow in straight, convergent channels

Progress on issues from last meeting: numerical output for concentration profile for flow in rectangular channel; finished paper with Won Gu
