"Fluidics is the application of flowing substances - fluids -, such as liquids and gases, to system control and logic operations" [ref].

"The word fluidics is used in a broader sense to encompass the steady or time-varying, controlled flow of fluids in meso, micro and nano-scale systems – referred to as “mesofluidics”, “microfluidics” and “nanofluidics”. In the Lab, precise flow control and fluid handling is achieved through a combination of electro-mechanical devices and fluidic elements" [ref].
