چکیده
This paper is an attempt to study the effects of surface topography on flow a droplet (or bubble) in low Reynolds number regime. Multiphase flows through constricted passage find many interesting applications chemistry and biology. The main parameters which determine properties such as rate pressure drop, govern complex multiphase phenomena drop coalescence, break-up snap-off straight channel are viscosity ratio, size ratio viscous forces tension (denoted by Capillary number). But passage, addition above-mentioned parameters, various other geometric constriction length shape constriction, phase angle, spacing between constrictions also start playing important role. Most studies done problem have aimed understand role physical with some extending their analysis variation one or two parameters. no could be found explicitly evaluates topography. An has been made unify current literature well analyze effect understanding physics mechanisms involved. non-dimensional numbers this then identified using scaling analysis.

Electroviscous Effects in Low Reynolds Number Flow through a Microfluidic Contraction with Rectangular Cross-Section
The electrokinetic flow resistance (electroviscous effect) is predicted for steady state, pressure-driven liquid flow at low Reynolds number in a microfluidic contraction of rectangular cross-section. Calculations of the three dimensional flow are performed in parallel using a finite volume numerical method. The channel walls are assumed to carry a uniform charge density and the liquid is taken...

Spurred by the growing interest in utilising electroosmotic flow for microfluidic applications, a finite volume computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is used to investigate steady electro-osmotic flows through a planar microfluidic contraction-expansion at low Reynolds number. The axial concentration profiles and pressure and potential changes occurring over the flow domain are compared wit...

Rarefied helium and nitrogen flow expanding into vacuum through 150μm high and 1.5 cm long channels is studied experimentally and numerically with the DSMC method. Different types of channel walls are examined, both polished and rough with well characterized roughness shaped as triangles and rectangles. The pressure varies from 200 to 13,000 Pa, with the gas mean free path being both much large...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Reynolds Number Effects on Flow over a Wall-Mounted Cube in a Channel Using LES
Turbulent flow over wall-mounted cube in a channel was investigated numerically using Large Eddy Simulation. The Selective Structure Function model was used to determine eddy viscosity that appeared in the subgrid scale stress terms in momentum equations. Studies were carried out for the flows with Reynolds number ranging from 1000 to 40000. To evaluate the computational results, data was compa...
متن کاملMicromixer based on viscoelastic flow instability at low Reynolds number.
We exploited the viscoelasticity of biocompatible dilute polymeric solutions, namely, dilute poly(ethylene oxide) solutions, to significantly enhance mixing in microfluidic devices at a very small Reynolds number, i.e., Re approximately 0.023, but large Peclet and elasticity numbers. With an abrupt contraction microgeometry (8:1 contraction ratio), two different dilute poly(ethylene oxide) solu...
