Transient Dean flow in an annulus: a semi-analytical approach [PDF]
The mathematical model of a fully developed laminar transient flow formation between the gaps of two horizontally stationary concentric tubes forming concentric annulus due to the impact of sudden application of azimuthal pressure gradient is analysed ...

Dean Flow Dynamics in Low-Aspect Ratio Spiral Microchannels. [PDF]
AbstractA wide range of microfluidic cell-sorting devices has emerged in recent years, based on both passive and active methods of separation. Curvilinear channel geometries are often used in these systems due to presence of secondary flows, which can provide high throughput and sorting efficiency.

Dean flow velocity of viscoelastic fluids in curved microchannels [PDF]
Curved microchannels take advantage of inertial and Dean drag forces to achieve size-based separation of particles and cells. Despite the reported numerical and experimental correlations for Dean velocity (VDe) of Newtonian fluids, comprehensive studies ...

Semi-Empirical Estimation of Dean Flow Velocity in Curved Microchannels. [PDF]
AbstractCurved and spiral microfluidic channels are widely used in particle and cell sorting applications. However, the average Dean velocity of secondary vortices which is an important design parameter in these devices cannot be estimated precisely with the current knowledge in the field.

Dean flow-coupled inertial focusing in curved channels. [PDF]
Passive particle focusing based on inertial microfluidics was recently introduced as a high-throughput alternative to active focusing methods that require an external force field to manipulate particles. In inertial microfluidics, dominant inertial forces cause particles to move across streamlines and occupy equilibrium positions along the faces of ...

A needle tip CCEA microfluidic device based on enhanced Dean flow for cell washing. [PDF]
Particle/cell washing is an essential technique in biological and clinical manipulations. Herein, we propose a novel circular contraction–expansion array (CCEA) microdevice. It can be directly connected to a needle tip without connection tubes. Its small
