Experiments on transformation microfluidics: cloaking flow and transport without metamaterials
Oscar Boyadjian, Étienne Boulais, Thomas Gervais
Cloaking effects have now been identified in almost every field of physics. In all cases, substrate-carved metamaterials make the reshaping of the concealed volume impossible. In f…
Pixelated Chemical Displays
Pierre-Alexandre Goyette, Étienne Boulais, Maude Tremblay +1
An increasing number of applications in biology, chemistry, and material sciences require fluid manipulation beyond what is possible with current automated pipette handlers, such a…
2D Convection-Diffusion in Multipolar Flows
Etienne Boulais, Thomas Gervais
We present a complete analysis of the problem of convection-diffusion in low Re, 2-dimensional flows with distributions of singularities, such as those found in open-space microflu…
Microfluidic multipoles: theory and applications
Pierre-Alexandre Goyette, Étienne Boulais, Frédéric Normandeau +3
Microfluidic multipoles (MFMs) have been realized experimentally and hold promise for "open-space" biological and chemical surface processing. Whereas convective flow can readily b…
3D-printed Terahertz Photonic Bandgap Waveguide-based Fluidic Sensor
Yang Cao, Kathirvel Nallappan, Hichem Guerboukha +2
A Bragg waveguide-based resonant fluidic sensor operating in THz band is studied. A fused deposition modeling 3D printing technique is employed to fabricate the sensor where the li…
