Comments Regarding my Fluidics and Microfluidics Design and Analysis Work:

During the last several years I have become a dedicated student of fluid dynamics, both at the bench and using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method with flexPDE and Comsol solvers.  My work has included designing, testing and analyzing a variety of fluidic devices and scenarios.
 
As I gradually grew more competent in this area of work, I learned how to model two phase flow and "bubbly" fluid flow in homogeneously reacting porous flow regions.  I have recently begun to learn to model fluid flow with free surfaces and fluid flow where surface tension is a strong force when compared with gravitation, momentum and viscous friction.  This work is ongoing and I am, little by little, becoming an expert analyst and designer.
