The following are the results from a simulation evaluating flow inside of a Tesla Valve.

A tesla valve is a passive system with no moving parts designed to impede flow in one direction while allowing it to pass undisturbed in the other.

The animations are as follows:
1) passive scalar transport (s) for flow in each direction
2) passive scalar transport (s) and velocity field (U) for un-impeded flow
3) passive scalar transport (s) and velocity field (U) for impeded flow

LES is not an appropriate solver for 2D geometries; the main purpose here was the visualization of the self impeding flow, if I was trying to
