title = "Engineering flow cross-section via programmed pillars",
abstract = "We introduce the ability to engineer the cross-sectional shape of a fluid using the integrated inertial flow deformations induced by sequences of simple microstructures (i.e. pillars). Discretization of single pillar operations followed by their programmed superposition allows the hierarchical assembly of complex flow programs. The introduction of a general strategy to program fluid streams in which the complexity of the nonlinear equations of fluid motion are abstracted from the user can impact biological, chemical and materials automation in the same way that abstraction of semiconductor physics from computer programmers enabled a revolution in computation.",
