Path to Low Cost Microfluidics
Alexander N. Govyadinov, Erik Torniainen, Pavel Kornilovitch +1
The paper describes a novel concept for a low cost microfluidic platform utilizing materials and processes used in low cost thermal inkjet printing. The concept re-purposes the jet…
Single-pulse dynamics and flow rates of inertial micropumps
A. N. Govyadinov, P. E. Kornilovitch, D. P. Markel +1
Bubble-driven inertial pumps are a novel method of moving liquids through microchannels. We combine high-speed imaging, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and an effect…
One-dimensional model of inertial pumping
P. E. Kornilovitch, A. N. Govyadinov, D. P. Markel +1
A one-dimensional model of inertial pumping is introduced and solved. The pump is driven by a high-pressure vapor bubble generated by a microheater positioned asymmetrically in a m…
Bubble-Driven Inertial Micropump
Erik D. Torniainen, Alexander N. Govyadinov, David P. Markel +1
The fundamental action of the bubble-driven inertial micropump is investigated. The pump has no moving parts and consists of a thermal resistor placed asymmetrically within a strai…
