TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a computational interlaboratory study to determine the suitability and methodology for simulating fluid flow in an idealized medical device, which was a cylindrical nozzle with a conical collector and sudden expansion on either side of a 0.04 m long, 0.004 m diameter throat.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the use and limitations of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in assessing blood flow parameters related to medical device safety, including mean velocity and turbulent flow quantities.

TL;DR: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently hosted an interlaboratory study to assess the suitability and methodology of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for demonstrating medical device safety in regulatory submissions as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The stability of the organic-aqueous interface is improved by reducing the interfacial tension between the two phases by incorporating a surfactant into the aqueous phase, which has led to the ability to create stable stratified microflows in both a dual inlet and three inlet microfluidic systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, two phase mixing has been demonstrated in a three-inlet microfluidic device geometry and the initial instability is modeled by considering the small signal linearized analysis for interfacial stresses from both fluid and electrical tensors for both inviscid and viscous models.
