Utilizing bifurcations to separate particles in spiral inertial microfluidics

Rahil Valani, Brendan Harding, Yvonne Stokes

Particles suspended in fluid flow through a closed duct can focus to specific stable locations in the duct cross-section due to hydrodynamic forces arising from the inertia of the…

Inertial focusing of spherical particles in curved microfluidic ducts at moderate Dean numbers

Brendan Harding, Yvonne M. Stokes

We examine the effect of Dean number on the inertial focusing of spherical particles suspended in flow through curved microfluidic ducts. Previous modelling of particle migration i…

Dynamics of small particle inertial migration in curved square ducts

Kyung Ha, Brendan Harding, Andrea L. Bertozzi +1

Microchannels are well-known in microfluidic applications for the control and separation of microdroplets and cells. Often the objects in the flow experience inertial effects, resu…

Unsteady stretching of a glass tube with internal channel pressurisation

G. P. Ranathunga, Y. M. Stokes, M. J. Chen

Mathematical modelling is used to examine the unsteady problem of heating and pulling an axisymmetric cylindrical glass tube with an over-pressure applied within the tube to form t…

Bifurcations and dynamics in inertial focusing of particles in curved rectangular ducts

Rahil N. Valani, Brendan Harding, Yvonne M. Stokes

Particles suspended in fluid flow through a curved duct focus to stable equilibrium positions in the duct cross-section due to the balance of two dominant forces: (i) inertial lift…

Bifurcations in inertial focusing of a particle suspended in flow through curved rectangular ducts

Rahil N. Valani, Brendan Harding, Yvonne M. Stokes

Particles suspended in a fluid flow through a curved duct can focus to specific locations within the duct cross-section. This particle focusing is a result of a balance between two…
