متن کاملFlow Focusing in Microfluidic Devices
This paper presents numerical analysis of the hydrodynamic flow focusing in rectangular microchannels. The low Reynolds number pressure driven flow in symmetric system of crossed channels with three inlets and one outlet is investigated. The numerical model is used to elucidate the origin of broadening of the focused flow sheet observed experimentally close to the side walls of the outlet chann...
متن کاملControllability of Non-Newtonian Fluids under Homogeneous Extensional Flow
In the discipline of non-Newtonian materials, the ability to control viscoelastic stresses is very desirable in ascertaining important properties of the influenced materials. We apply the nonlinear geometric control theory to examine the controllability of various popular constitutive models with imposed homogeneous extensional flow. The subsequent constitutive laws considered here include the ...
متن کاملParallelization of microfluidic flow-focusing devices.
Microfluidic flow-focusing devices offer excellent control over fluid flow, enabling formation of drops with a narrow size distribution. However, the throughput of microfluidic flow-focusing devices is limited and scale-up through operation of multiple drop makers in parallel often compromises the robustness of their operation. We demonstrate that parallelization is facilitated if the outer pha...
متن کاملExtensional flow of blood analog solutions in microfluidic devices.
In this study, we show the importance of extensional rheology, in addition to the shear rheology, in the choice of blood analog solutions intended to be used in vitro for mimicking the microcirculatory system. For this purpose, we compare the flow of a Newtonian fluid and two well-established viscoelastic blood analog polymer solutions through microfluidic channels containing both hyperbolic an...
