Dean-flow-coupled elasto-inertial three-dimensional particle focusing under viscoelastic flow in a straight channel with asymmetrical expansion-contraction cavity arrays.
In this paper, 3D particle focusing in a straight channel with asymmetrical expansion-contraction cavity arrays (ECCA channel) is achieved by exploiting the dean-flow-coupled elasto-inertial effects. First, the mechanism of particle focusing in both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids was introduced. Then particle focusing was demonstrated experimentally in this channel with Newtonian and non-Ne...
متن کاملSingle stream inertial focusing in a straight microchannel.
In the past two decades, microfluidics has become of great value in precisely aligning cells or microparticles within fluids. Microfluidic techniques use either external forces or sheath flow to focus particulate samples, and face the challenges of complex instrumentation design and limited throughput. The burgeoning field of inertial microfluidics brings single-position focusing functionality ...
متن کاملSheathless elasto-inertial particle focusing and continuous separation in a straight rectangular microchannel.
Particle focusing in planar geometries is essentially required in order to develop cost-effective lab-on-a-chips, such as cell counting and point-of-care (POC) devices. In this study, a novel method for sheathless particle focusing, called "Elasto-Inertial Particle Focusing", was demonstrated in a straight microchannel. The particles were notably aligned along the centerline of the straight cha...
متن کاملTurbulent flows in straight compound open-channel with a transverse embankment on the floodplain
24 The present study deals with turbulent flows in an asymmetrical compound channel with an 25 embankment set on the floodplain, perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction. The main purpose of 26 this study was to assess how a rapidly varied flow affects interaction between the floodplain flow and 27 the main channel flow. In addition to rapid changes in the water level and velocity across t...
متن کاملTheory of two-dimensional Josephson arrays in a resonant cavity
We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional array of underdamped Josephson junctions placed in a single-mode resonant cavity. Starting from a well-defined model Hamiltonian, which includes the effects of driving current and dissipative coupling to a heat bath, we write down the Heisenberg equations of motion for the variables of the Josephson junction and the cavity mode, extending our previo...
