Investigation of acoustic streaming patterns around oscillating sharp edges.
Oscillating sharp edges have been employed to achieve rapid and homogeneous mixing in microchannels using acoustic streaming. Here, we used a perturbation approach to study the flow around oscillating sharp edges in a microchannel. This work extends prior experimental studies to numerically characterize the effect of various parameters on the acoustically induced flow. Our numerical results mat...
متن کاملA reliable and programmable acoustofluidic pump powered by oscillating sharp-edge structures.
We present a programmable acoustofluidic pump that utilizes the acoustic streaming effects generated by the oscillation of tilted sharp-edge structures. This sharp-edge-based acoustofluidic pump is capable of generating stable flow rates as high as 8 μL min(-1) (~76 Pa of pumping pressure), and it can tune flow rates across a wide range (nanoliters to microliters per minute). Along with its abi...
متن کاملAn Acoustofluidic Micromixer via Bubble Inception and Cavitation from Microchannel Sidewalls
During the deep reactive ion etching process, the sidewalls of a silicon mold feature rough wavy structures, which can be transferred onto a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannel through the soft lithography technique. In this article, we utilized the wavy structures of PDMS microchannel sidewalls to initiate and cavitate bubbles in the presence of acoustic waves. Through bubble cavitation, ...
متن کاملRapidly rotating cylinder flow with an oscillating sidewall.
We present numerical simulations of a flow in a rapidly rotating cylinder subjected to a time-periodic forcing via axial oscillations of the sidewall. When the axial oscillation frequency is less than twice the rotation frequency, inertial waves in the form of shear layers are present. For very fast rotations, these waves approach the form of the characteristics predicted from the linearized in...
متن کاملDroplet Impact on Gaps and Sharp Edges
In this work we aim to analyse the secondary droplets generated by the impact of a single drop on a dry surface with different gaps and edges configurations. Using a shadowgraph technique, the student has to investigate the formed crown and the secondary droplets with statistical methods. For this propose a flywheel experiment has been developed at the Multiphase Flow and Icing department of th...
