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…
Particle-laden thin-film flow in helical channels with arbitrary shallow cross-sectional shape
D. J. Arnold, Y. M. Stokes, J. E. F. Green
Particle-laden flows in helical channels are of interest for their applications in spiral particle separators used in the mining and mineral processing industries. In this paper, w…
Effect of inertial lift on a spherical particle suspended in flow through a curved duct
B. Harding, Y. M. Stokes, A. L. Bertozzi
We develop a model of the forces on a spherical particle suspended in flow through a curved duct under the assumption that the particle Reynolds number is small. This extends an as…
