Dean flow-coupled inertial focusing in curved channels. [PDF]
Biomicrofluidics, 2014 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 ...

Dean Flow Dynamics in Low-Aspect Ratio Spiral Microchannels. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 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.
