Meniscus arrest during capillary rise in asymmetric microfluidic pore junctions.
The capillary rise of liquid in asymmetric channel junctions with branches of different radii can lead to long-lasting meniscus arrests in the wider channel, which has important implications for the morphology and dynamical broadening of imbibition fronts in porous materials with elongated pores. Using a microfluidic setup, we experimentally demonstrate the existence of arrest events in Y-shape...
متن کاملPassively Triggering Asymmetric Digital Flows at Symmetric Microfluidic Junctions
The diverse and often complex dynamics of digital flows in microfluidic networks is of much current interest to the microfluidic community due to the wide range of applications facilitated by such flows. In this paper, we highlight a counterintuitive phenomenon in the traffic of bubble trains. We show how all bubbles of a train can be sorted exclusively into one of the arms of a symmetric loop ...
متن کاملMeniscus arrest dominated imbibition front roughening in porous media with elongated pores
During spontaneous imbibition, a wetting liquid is drawn into a porous medium by capillary forces. Recently, anomalous scaling properties of front broadening during spontaneous imbibition of water in Vycor glass, a nanoporous medium, were reported. The mean height and the width of the propagating front increase with time t both proportional to t. We argue that this anomalously large roughening ...
متن کاملMeniscus motion in a prewetted capillary
A conventional description of the effect of meniscus friction is based on the concept of the dynamic contact angle u, which depends on the meniscus velocity V according to the Tanner law, u}V. However, recent high-resolution experiments on spontaneous uptake of wetting fluids by capillaries have questioned the universality of the Tanner law. We analyze a mechanism underlying the phenomenologica...

changes of hydrodynamic parameters in microchannel branches affect the suspended biological samples in blood. to prevent denaturation and hemolysis, we have numerically investigated the effect of divergence angle on shear rate and velocity at branch entrance (discharge rate), under electroosmotic flow. in such flow, hydrodynamic properties are also affected by zeta potential at the microchannel...
