August 10th, 2004
Abstract:
At very small scales the effect of turbulence disappears, making liquids more difficult to travel through. The viscosity of water at small scales is more like honey than a quickly-flowing liquid. This makes it difficult to design microscopic machines that can move through water. The trick is to design a cyclical motion that is not identical in the reverse direction.
