Cell pinball: phenomenon and mechanism of inertia-like cell motion in a microfluidic channel.
An unexpected phenomenon of red blood cells bouncing back and forth between the walls inside a microfluidic channel was observed during experiments, and is presented as "Cell Pinball" in this paper. In general, cells in a microfluidic environment are supposed to move along the streamlines parallel to the channel walls when the Reynolds number is small, and the inertia of the cells becomes negli...
متن کاملLow-Reynolds-number droplet motion in a square microfluidic channel
In this study, we investigate computationally the low-Reynolds-number droplet motion in a square micro-channel, a problem frequently encountered in microfluidic devices, enhanced oil recovery and coating processes. The droplet deformation and motion are determined via a three-dimensional spectral boundary element method for wall-bounded flows. The effects of the flow rate, viscosity ratio and d...
متن کاملMotion of an elastic capsule in a square microfluidic channel.
In the present study we investigate computationally the steady-state motion of an elastic capsule along the centerline of a square microfluidic channel and compare it with that in a cylindrical tube. In particular, we consider a slightly over-inflated elastic capsule made of a strain-hardening membrane with comparable shearing and area-dilatation resistance. Under the conditions studied in this...
متن کاملPaper-based Enzymatic Microfluidic Fuel Cell: From a two-stream flow device to a single-stream lateral flow strip
This work presents a first approach towards the development of a cost-effective enzymatic paper-based glucose/O2 microfluidic fuel cell in which fluid transport is based on capillary action. A first fuel cell configuration consists of a Y-shaped paper device with the fuel and the oxidant flowing in parallel over carbon paper electrodes modified with bioelectrocatalytic enzymes. The anode consis...
متن کاملInfluence of Stream channel morphology and in-stream habitats on fish community in Golestan province Streams
Four streams with different sizes were selected for studying the effects of environmental factors on fish assemblages using indirect (Detrended Correspondence Analysis, DCA) and direct (Redundancy Analysis, RDA) gradient analysis in Golestan province. DCA of presence-absence and relative abundance data showed well gradient and linear model of species variability. In the within-site RDA, environ...
