Spatio-Temporal Instabilities of Blood Flow in a Model Capillary Network
Mathieu Alonzo, Nathaniel J. Karst, Thomas Podgorski +2
We present experimental evidence of multiple blood flow configurations in a relatively simple microfluidic network under constant inlet conditions. We provide evidence of multistab…
Axial dispersion of Red Blood Cells in microchannels
Sylvain Losserand, Gwennou Coupier, Thomas Podgorski
Red Blood Cells flowing in a microchannel undergo dispersion in the flow direction due to the non-uniform velocity profile while transverse migration due to cell-wall interactions…
Optimal cell transport in straight channels and networks
Alexander Farutin, Zaiyi Shen, Gael Prado +9
Flux of rigid or soft particles (such as drops, vesicles, red blood cells, etc.) in a channel is a complex function of particle concentration, which depends on the details of induc…
Buckling instability causes inertial thrust for spherical swimmers at all scales
A. Djellouli, P. Marmottant, H. Djeridi +2
Microswimmers, and among them aspirant microrobots, generally have to cope with flows where viscous forces are dominant, characterized by a low Reynolds number (). This implies…
Pairwise hydrodynamic interactions and diffusion in a vesicle suspension
Pierre-Yves Gires, Aparna Srivastav, Chaouqi Misbah +2
The hydrodynamic interaction of two deformable vesicles in shear flow induces a net displacement, in most cases an increase of their distance in the transverse direction. The stati…
Efficiency of size-dependent particle separation by pinched flow fractionation
Aparna Srivastav, Thomas Podgorski, Gwennou Coupier
Pinched flow fractionation is shown to be an efficient and selective way to quickly separate particles by size in a very polydisperse semi-concentrated suspension. In an effort to…
