    • Analysis of double-chamber parallel valveless micropumps 

      Azarbadegan, A.; Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Eames, I.; Zangeneh, M. (2010-08)
      The characteristics of a double-chamber valveless parallel micropump are analysed using a one-dimensional non-linear model. The relationships between the mean volume flux, pressure difference and (measurable) characteristics ...
    • An efficient passive planar micromixer with fin-shaped baffles in the tee channel for wide Reynolds number flow range 

      Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Azarbadegan, A.; Moeendarbary, E. (2010)
      A new design of a planar passive T-micromixer with fin-shaped baffles in the mixing channel is presented. The mixing efficiency and the level of pressure loss in the channel have been investigated by numerical simulations ...
    • Evolving Sims's creatures for bipedal gait 

      Azarbadegan, A.; Broz, F.; Nehaniv, C.L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01)
      In this paper we describe the design of an approach to evolve Sims's creatures with morphology and behaviour similar to biped animals. Our hypothesis is that biases in morphology that encourage limb specialisation, combined ...
    • Investigation of Double-Chamber Series Valveless Micropump : An Analytical Approach 

      Azarbadegan, A.; Moeendarbary, E.; Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Eames, I. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
      We describe an analytical study of the characteristics of a double-chamber series valveless micropump using a one-dimensional non-linear model. We derive a closed-form expression for relationship between the mean volume ...
    • Optimization of diffuser/nozzle elements for rectification valveless micropumps 

      Azarbadegan, A.; Cortes Quiroz, Cesar; Moeendarbary, E.; Eames, Ian (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)
      There has been a growing interest in understanding the flow behaviour inside diffuser/nozzle elements in order to identify performance characteristics of these elements for micropump applications. Flat-walled diffuser/nozzle ...
