Asymmetry of red blood cell motions in a microchannel with a diverging and converging bifurcation.
In microcirculation, red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through bifurcations may deform considerably due to combination of different phenomena that happen at the micro-scale level, such as: attraction effect, high shear, and extensional stress, all of which may influence the rheological properties and flow behavior of blood. Thus, it is important to investigate in detail the behavior of blood flow ...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic choking phenomenon in a converging-diverging microchannel.
Experiments show that particles smaller than the throat size of converging-diverging microchannels can sometimes be trapped near the throat. This critical phenomenon is associated with the negative dc dielectrophoresis arising from nonuniform electric fields in the microchannels. A finite-element model, accounting for the particle-fluid-electric field interactions, is employed to investigate th...
متن کاملLaminar Fully Developed Flow in Periodically Converging-diverging Microtubes
Laminar fully developed ow and pressure drop in linearly varying cross -section converging-diverging microtubes have been is investigated in this work. These microtubes are formed from a series of converging-diverging modules. An analytical model is developed for frictional ow resistance assuming parabolic axial velocity pro le in diverging and converging sections. Frictional ow resistance is f...
متن کاملPressure-driven transport of particles through a converging-diverging microchannel.
Pressure-driven transport of particles through a symmetric converging-diverging microchannel is studied by solving a coupled nonlinear system, which is composed of the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite-element technique. The predicted particle translation is in good agreement with existing experimental observations. The effects of pressure gra...
متن کاملMicrofluidic converging/diverging channels optimised for homogeneous extensional deformation
In this work, we optimise microfluidic converging/diverging geometries in order to produce constant strain-rates along the centreline of the flow, for performing studies under homogeneous extension. The design is examined for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional flows where the effects of aspect ratio and dimensionless contraction length are investigated. Initially, pressure driven flows ...
