A model for inertial particles in curvilinear flows
Mike Garcia, Sumita Pennathur
The recent advent of advanced microfabrication capabilities of microfluidic devices has driven attention towards the behavior of particles in inertial flows within microchannels fo…
A linearised model for calculating inertial forces on a particle in the presence of a permeate flow
Mike Garcia, Baskar Ganapathysubramanian, Sumita Pennathur
Understanding particle transport and localisation in porous channels, especially at moderate Reynolds numbers, is relevant for many applications ranging from water reclamation to b…
Rheology of human blood plasma: Viscoelastic versus Newtonian behavior
M. Brust, C. Schaefer, L. Pan +3
We investigate the rheological characteristics of human blood plasma in shear and elongational flows. While we can confirm a Newtonian behavior in shear flow within experimental re…
Fluid Elasticity Can Enable Propulsion at Low Reynolds Number
Nathan C. Keim, Mike Garcia, Paulo E. Arratia
Conventionally, a microscopic particle that performs a reciprocal stroke cannot move through its environment. This is because at small scales, the response of simple Newtonian flui…
