Computational Study of Inertial Flows in Helical Microchannels

The sorting of biological cells or particles immersed in a fluid is frequent goal the domain microfluidics. One approach for such using inertial effects that are present curved channels. In this study, we propose new focusing microfluidic devices. investigated channels had form helical channel with circular cross-section, and were spherical. We identified key parameters influence cell results through multiple computational simulations modelling tool PyOIF within package ESPResSo. found spherical could be sorted respect to their size since stabilised positions located different parts cross section. location position function parameters, geometrical device, cells.
