The formation of pairs and trains particles in inertial microfluidics is an important consideration for device design applications, such as particle focusing separation. We study the stability linear staggered nearly rigid spherical different sizes a pressure-driven flow through straight duct with rectangular cross section under mild inertia. An in-house lattice-Boltzmann-immersed-boundary-fini...

Abstract Microfluidics exploiting the phenomenon of inertial focusing have attracted much attention in last decade as they provide means to facilitate detection and analysis rare particles interest complex fluids such blood natural water. Although many interesting applications been demonstrated, systems remain difficult engineer. A recently presented line technology, High Aspect Ratio Curved mi...

Passive particle focusing based on inertial microfluidics was recently introduced as a high-throughput alternative to active focusing methods that require an external force-field to manipulate particles. In this study, we introduce inertial microfluidics in flows through straight, multiple parallel channels. The scalable, single inlet and two outlet, parallel channel system is enabled by a nove...

Inertial microfluidics has been widely used in high-throughput manipulation of particles and cells by hydrodynamic forces, without the aid of externally applied fields. The performance of inertial microfluidic devices largely relies on precise prediction of particle trajectories that are determined by inertial lift acting on particles. The only way to accurately obtain lift forces is by direct ...

Passive particle focusing based on inertial microfluidics was recently introduced as a high-throughput alternative to active focusing methods that require an external force field to manipulate particles. In inertial microfluidics, dominant inertial forces cause particles to move across streamlines and occupy equilibrium positions along the faces of walls in flows through straight micro channels...
