Droplet displacements and oscillations induced by ultrasonic surface acoustic waves: a quantitative study.
We present an experimental study of a droplet interacting with an ultrasonic surface acoustic wave. Depending on the amplitude of the wave, the drop can either experience an internal flow with its contact line pinned, or (at higher amplitude) move along the direction of the wave also with internal flow. Both situations come with oscillations of the drop free surface. The physical origins of the...
متن کاملA new type of surface acoustic waves induced by nonlinearity
It is demonstrated that nonlinear properties of a thin film coating a lrnear elastic substrate may lead to the creation of a new type of surface acoustic waves which may exist at the condition c: cc:, where c, and crare the velocities in the substrate and the film, respectively. These waves appear when the amplitude at the surface exceeds a certain threshold value and for a definite sign of the...
متن کاملMicrofluidic on-demand droplet merging using surface acoustic waves.
Individual droplets can be isolated within microfluidic systems by use of an immiscible carrier layer. This type of two phase systems, often termed "digital microfluidics", find wide ranging applications in chemical synthesis and analysis. To conduct on-chip biochemical analysis, a key step is to be able to merge droplets selectively in order to initiate the required reactions. In this paper, a...
متن کاملSimulation of Ultrasonic Examinations Using Surface Acoustic Waves
The UT simulation tools developed at the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in the CIVA software platform were up to now limited to methods based on bulk ultrasonic waves. This study aims at extending the capabilities of the models to deal with testing configurations using surface acoustic waves (SAW). In such configurations, specific transducer arrangement is made to generate and receive su...
متن کاملNanoliter-Droplet Acoustic Streaming via Ultra High Frequency Surface Acoustic Waves
The relevant length scales in sub-nanometer amplitude surface acoustic wave-driven acoustic streaming are demonstrated. We demonstrate the absence of any physical limitations preventing the downscaling of SAW-driven internal streaming to nanoliter microreactors and beyond by extending SAW microfluidics up to operating frequencies in the GHz range. This method is applied to nanoliter scale fluid...
