A Combinatorial Approach to Novel Boundary Design in Deterministic Lateral Displacement
Aryan Mehboudi, Shrawan Singhal, S. V. Sreenivasan
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a high-resolution separation technique used in various fields. A fundamental challenge in DLD is ensuring uniform flow characteristics a…
Investigation of pressure balance in proximity of sidewalls in deterministic lateral displacement
Aryan Mehboudi, Shrawan Singhal, S. V. Sreenivasan
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a popular technique for size-based separation of particles. One of the challenges in design of DLD chips is to eliminate the disturbance…
A tracking algorithm for finite-size particles
Aryan Mehboudi, Shrawan Singhal, S. V. Sreenivasan
Particle-wall interactions play a crucially important role in various applications such as microfluidic devices for cell sorting, particle separation, entire class of hydrodynamic…
A passive Stokes flow rectifier for Newtonian fluids
Aryan Mehboudi, Junghoon Yeom
Non-linear effects of the Navier-Stokes equations disappear under the Stokes regime of Newtonian fluid flows disallowing the fluid flow rectification. Here we show mathematically a…
Experimental and theoretical investigation of a low-Reynolds-number flow through deformable shallow microchannels with ultra-low height-to-width aspect ratios
Aryan Mehboudi, Junghoon Yeom
The emerging field of deformable microfluidics widely employed in the Lab-on-a-Chip and MEMS communities offers an opportunity to study a relatively under-examined physics. The mai…
