Abstract: In one example, a fluid flow structure includes a flow path configured to simultaneously move a liquid up a slope and move a bubble down the slope. In one example, a fluid flow structure includes a horizontal conduit, a reservoir to hold a liquid above the conduit, an inlet into which liquid from the reservoir may enter the conduit, an outlet through which liquid may leave the conduit, and multiple capillary channels in the conduit extending continuously from the inlet to the outlet.

Abstract translation: 在一个示例中，流体流动结构包括流动路径，该流动路径被配置为同时使液体向上移动斜坡并使气泡沿斜坡移动。 在一个示例中，流体流动结构包括水平导管，用于保持导管上方的液体的储存器，来自储存器的液体可以进入导管的入口，液体可以离开导管的出口和多个毛细通道 在导管中从入口连续延伸到出口。
