In-situ Sub-micrometer Surface Flow Velocity Measurment
نویسنده
چکیده
We have measured the flow velocity at a sub-micrometer distance from a flow channel wall by tracing the refractive index boundary of two consecutively flowed liquids. Using the surface plasmon resonance method to measure the surface proximity refractive index, we were able to measure the velocity without using additional tracer materials. This velocimetry can be performed while simultaneously measuring the reaction rate of surface immobilized biologically functioning molecules. Combining these two measurements enabled us to improve the fidelity of adsorption measurements of real samples undertaken using a capillary pumping biosensor by determining the flow velocity for each sample injection.

Direct velocity measurements of the flow past drag-reducing ultrahydrophobic surfaces
A series of experiments are presented which study the flow kinematics of water past drag-reducing superhydrophobic surfaces. The ultrahydrophobic surfaces are fabricated from silicon wafers using photolithography and are designed to incorporate precise patterns of micrometer-sized ridges aligned in the flow direction. The ridges are made hydrophobic through a chemical reaction with an organosil...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Acoustophoresis in Square Microchannel Enables Sub-micrometer Particle Focusing
Here, a square microchannel acoustophoresis device capable of two-dimensional focusing of sub-micrometer particles is presented. This opens the route to acoustic manipulation of smaller bioparticles such as bacteria. The device performance is compared to a conventional rectangular acoustophoresis channel that focuses particles in one dimension. Utilizing the change in the acoustic streaming vel...
متن کاملEffect of Crest Roughness on Flow Characteristics over Circular Weirs
Different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures. In the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. The flow hydraulics incl...
متن کاملRemote Monitoring of Subsurface Flow Conditions in Rivers
The primary research goal is to develop techniques to determine subsurface turbulence from remote measurements using infrared imaging of the skin layer. We aim to infer flow rate, turbulence intensity and subsurface-generated turbulent structures from surface temperature patterns. We will take advantage of the two complementary indicators of subsurface flow provided by IR imagery: the thermal s...
متن کاملSub-micrometer soft lithography of a bulk chalcogenide glass.
We demonstrate, for the first time, time- and cost-effective replication of sub-micrometer features from a soft PDMS mold onto a bulk chalcogenide glass over a large surface area. A periodic array of sub-micrometer lines (diffraction grating) with period 625 nm, amplitude 45 nm and surface roughness 3 nm was imprinted onto the surface of the chalcogenide AsSe(2) bulk glass at temperature 225°C,...
