Quantifying transport within a two-cell microdroplet induced by circular and sharp channel bends
A passive method for obtaining good mixing within microdroplets is to introduce curves in the boundaries of the microchannels in which they flow. This article develops a method which quantifies the role of piecewise circular or straight channel boundaries on the transport within a two-cell microdroplet. Transport between the two cells is quantified as an easily computable time-varying flux, whi...
متن کاملGuiding Light Through Sharp Bends Using Two Dimensional Photonic Crystals
The current effort to make integrated optical chips requires guiding light around sharp corners with a radius of curvature on the order of a wavelength. Light propagates in conventional waveguides as a result of total internal reflection at the interface between the high-refractive index guiding layer and its low-index surroundings. However, bends in the conventional index-contrast waveguides a...
متن کاملSaturation of curvature-induced secondary flow, energy losses, and turbulence in sharp open-channel bends: Laboratory experiments, analysis, and modeling
[1] The paper investigates the influence of relative bend curvature on secondary flow, energy losses, and turbulence in sharp open-channel bends. These processes are important in natural streams with respect to sediment transport, the bathymetry and planimetry, mixing and spreading of pollutants, heat, oxygen, nutrients and biological species, and the conveyance capacity. Laboratory experiments...
متن کاملAir Trenches for Sharp Silica Waveguide Bends
Air trench structures for reduced-size bends in lowindex contrast waveguides are proposed. To minimize junction loss, the structures are designed to provide adiabatic mode shaping between lowand high-index contrast regions, which is achieved by the introduction of “cladding tapers.” Drastic reduction in effective bend radius is predicted. We present two-dimensional (2-D) finite-difference time-...
متن کاملLaminar Flow Analysis in the Channel Bends
In this paper the laminar flow in the rectangular channel bends is simulated using numerical techniques. The turning angle of the channel bend and the area ratio of the channel cross-section are two important parameters to be examined. For flow simulation, the body fitted 3-D continuity and momentum equations are used and a body fitted general purpose code is developed. The existing results of ...
