A Numerical Study of Drop Motion in Poiseuille Flow

The cross-stream migration of a deformable drop in two-dimensional Poiseuille flow at finite Reynolds numbers is studied numerically. In the limit of a small Reynolds number (<1), the motion of the drop depends strongly on the ratio of the viscosity of the drop fluid to the viscosity of the suspending fluid. For a viscosity ratio 0.125, the drop moves toward the centre of the channe while for t...

Finger drop following a potassium drop.

H ypokalemic paralysis can occur primarily as a result of an enhanced shift of potassium ions into cells or secondarily from excessive potassium loss. It typically involves proximal muscles in a symmetric fashion. We describe a patient with asymmetric distal weakness that turned out to be due to hypokalemia and responded to potassium replacement. A 65 year old gentleman woke up one morning to f...

Isoelectric focusing in a drop.

A novel approach to molecular separations is investigated using a technique termed droplet-based isoelectric focusing. Drops are manipulated discretely on a superhydrophobic surface, subjected to low voltages for isoelectric focusing, and split-resulting in a preparative separation. A universal indicator dye demonstrates the generation of stable, reversible pH gradients (3-10) in ampholyte buff...
