Microfluidics for chemotaxis and system biology
Microfluidics is an active and quickly developing area of applied science and engineering. It can be defined as construction and testing of devices and arrangements, where liquids flow through systems of microscopic channels...

Non-linear microfluidic devices
Construction of fluidic set-ups analogous to electronic circuits was quite an active area in 60th and early 70th. Rather advanced devices, such as fluidic diodes, oscillators, flip-flops, amplifiers and logic gates were build and integrated to...

Polymer fluid dynamics and elastic turbulence
We study dynamics and transition in flows of polymer solutions.
They are viscoelastic liquids; they carry elastic stresses and have non-linear mechanical properties. We found many unusual phenomena in polymer solutions flows, including elastic turbulence, which develops at vanishingly small Reynolds numbers, Re.

Mixing in flows
Mixing in chaotic and turbulent flows is a an important practical problem
and hot field in modern fluid mechanics. We experimentally studied mixing in a channel in a smooth random flow, the Batchelor regime,
and found excelent agreement with the theory. We continue this work
and will extend it to chemically reacting environement
