In Situ Measurement of Viscous Drag by Polymeric Microfluidic Forcemeter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a simple method of measuring viscous drag force on particles in microfluidic environment. Using in-situ polymerization, the effect of particle size and shape on viscous drag force is directly measured, which is crucial to understand motion of microbodies in low Reynolds numbered flow.

An Incompressible, Depth-Averaged Lattice Boltzmann Method for Liquid Flow in Microfluidic Devices with Variable Aperture
Two-dimensional (2D) pore-scale models have successfully simulated microfluidic experiments of aqueous-phase flow with mixing-controlled reactions in devices with small aperture. A standard 2D model is not generally appropriate when the presence of mineral precipitate or biomass creates complex and irregular three-dimensional (3D) pore geometries. We modify the 2D lattice Boltzmann method (LBM)...

This paper presents 2-D finite volume method for computation of viscous drag based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Computations are performed on bare submarine hull DREA and six axisymmetric bodies of revolution with a number of length-diameter (L/D) ratios ranging from 4 to 10. Both structured and unstructured grids are used to discretize the domain around the bodies. Diff...
متن کاملHigh Reynolds Viscous Flow Simulation Past the Elliptical Airfoil by Random Vortex Blob
In this paper, numerical simulation for a two-dimensional viscous and incompressible flow past the elliptical airfoil is presented by Random Vortex Blob (RVB). RVB is a numerical technique to solve the incompressible, two-dimensional and unsteady Navier-Stocks equations by converting them to rotational non-primitive formulations. In this method, the velocity vector at a certain point can be cal...
متن کاملDrag Reducing Polymers in Vascular System: Viscosity Measurement and Polymers Types and Concentrations
Toms (1949) discovered that if a very small amount of drag reducing polymers (DRP) are added in the flow, approximately 10 ppm by weight or less, a substancial reduction in pressure drop at a given flow rate resulted. Then, since 1948, the phenomenon of drag reduction have been studied by many researchers with the objective of understand the drag reduction mechanism. In the last decades, the dr...
