Optofluidics. 3 credits

Catalog description

Optofluidics is an emerging field which seeks to understand fluids and optics at micro and nanoscale. This course provides an overview of the fundamental physics of optics and fluid mechanics (e.g. the Maxwell equations and the Navier-Stokes equations) and discusses how they interact at small scales to create many new applications. Offered by Mechanical Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
