Particle Transport in Confinement: Nonlinearity, Compressibility, and Steric Effects
Water with particulates flowing through various confinements is ubiquitous, both in natural and synthetic systems, such as biological cell membranes, porous media, and micro-/nanofluidic devices. Understanding the detailed transport mechanism of both, water and particulates in such systems, is the …

Quantifying microbubble streaming and its applications
… exciting ways in which to drive microfluidic flows. A simple and powerful flow actuation method involves the use of acoustically excited microbubbles. For ease of manufacture and flow control, setups have largely focused on microbubbles of semi-cylindrical shape, attached to a wall of the …

Osmotic reflection coefficient
… generates a net volume flux called osmotic flow. The simple case is of the ideal semi-permeable membrane which completely excludes the solute. The flow through such a membrane is directly proportional to the thermodynamic pressure drop less the osmotic pressure drop. For membranes which …

Hydrodynamics Of Drops And Particles Driven By Marangoni And Diffusiophoretic Forces
<p>This study investigates the hydrodynamics of particles and drops driven by forces generated by an asymmetrical physical and chemical surrounding environment. In the first part, a novel colloidal motor design driven by surface tension forces is proposed, utilizing an active Janus particle …
