Microfluidic converging/diverging channels optimised for homogeneous extensional deformation
In this work, we optimise microfluidic converging/diverging geometries in order to produce constant strain-rates along the centreline of the flow, for performing studies under homogeneous extension. The design is examined for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional flows where the effects of aspect ratio and dimensionless contraction length are investigated. Initially, pressure driven flows ...
متن کاملHomogeneous nucleation in water in microfluidic channels.
It has been an experimental challenge to test the rupture of liquids with homogeneous nucleation of vapor bubbles. Many prior studies suffered from the ubiquitous presence of impurities in liquids or at container surfaces that spontaneously nucleate and grow under tension. Here, we propose a microfluidic approach to eliminate such impurities and obtain homogeneous bubble nucleation. We stretch ...
متن کاملFlow-induced deformation of shallow microfluidic channels.
We study the elastic deformation of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microchannels under imposed flow rates and the effect of this deformation on the laminar flow profile and pressure distribution within the channels. Deformation is demonstrated to be an important consideration in low aspect ratio (height to width) channels and the effect becomes increasingly pronounced for very shallow channels. ...
متن کاملThe effect of confinement-induced shear on drop deformation and breakup in microfluidic extensional flows
Droplets of de-ionized water and four aqueous surfactant solutions were generated in oil using a microfluidic flow-focusing device. The morphological developments of the drops in extensional flow and confinement-induced shear flow at various extension rates were studied using a hyperbolic contraction. This novel approach to droplet deformation within a microfluidic device allowed the probing of...
متن کاملOptimised Turbo Codes for Wireless Channels
Error control codes have become a vital part of modern digital wireless systems, enabling reliable transmission to be achieved over noisy and fading channels. Over the past decade, turbo codes have been widely considered to be the most powerful error control code of practical importance. In the same time-scale, mixed voice/data networks have advanced further and the concept of global wireless n...
