- A benchmark providing unprecedented comparison of state-of-the-art models with novel experimental dataset. Our own model is an elegant algorithm capturing the essential physical mechanisms responsible for the diverse range of fluid patterns at a minimal computing cost, overcoming a long-standing computational challenge. Under some conditions, our model (with runtime of minutes on a laptop) outperformed more sophisticated models requiring significantly larger resources (days on HPC with tens of microprocessors). The results, which swiftly gained considerable attention (>30 citations in a year; https://scholar.google.com/scholar?oi=bibs&hl=en&cites=14011272443011803866&as_sdt=5), advance our ability to manufacture microfluidics and to design and monitor water and energy resources production.
