Dynamics analysis of microparticles in inertial microfluidics for biomedical applications
Inertial microfluidics-based devices have recently attracted much interest and attention due to their simple structure, high throughput, fast processing and low cost. They have been utilised in a wide range of applications in microtechnology, especially for sorting and separating microparticles. This novel class of microfluidics-based devices works based on intrinsic forces, which cause micropa...
متن کاملRational design of capillary-driven flows for paper-based microfluidics.
The design of paper-based assays that integrate passive pumping requires a precise programming of the fluid transport, which has to be encoded in the geometrical shape of the substrate. This requirement becomes critical in multiple-step processes, where fluid handling must be accurate and reproducible for each operation. The present work theoretically investigates the capillary imbibition in pa...
متن کاملCavity flows of elastic liquids: Purely elastic instabilities
Experimental observations of a purely elastic flow instability occurring in the lid-driven cavity flow of two semi-dilute polymer solutions are reported and the effect of cavity aspect ratio on the dynamical structure of the unstable flow is quantitatively investigated. The spatial and temporal characteristics of the secondary flow are measured using flow visualization, laser Doppler velocimetr...
متن کاملMicrofluidics for sperm research.
One in six couples of reproductive age worldwide are affected at least once by some form of infertility. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are widely-available assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The identification and isolation of the most-motile sperm with DNA integrity are essential to IVF and ICSI, ultimately affecting treatment consequences and ...
متن کاملComputational methods for microfluidics
This thesis is concerned with computational methods for fluid flows on the microscale, also known as microfluidics. This is motivated by current research in biological physics and miniaturization technology, where there is a need to understand complex flows involving microscale structures. Numerical simulations are an important tool for doing this. The first paper of the thesis presents a numer...
