The Importance of Dean Flow in Microfluidic Nanoparticle Synthesis: A ZIF-8 Case Study

open access: yes, 2023
The Dean Flow, a physics phenomenon that accounts for the impact of channel curvature on fluid dynamics, has great potential to be used in microfluidic synthesis of nanoparticles.

Conception of a compact flow boiling loop for the International Space Station- First results in parabolic flights

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2023
The design of a pipe flow boiling experiment for the International Space Station is proposed, taking into account typical weight, power consumption and size constraints. The effect of singularities such as elbows upstream the test section is investigated.

Flow study of Dean’s instability in high aspect ratio microchannels

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
AbstractDean’s flow and Dean’s instability have always been important concepts in the inertial microfluidics. Curved channels are widely used for applications like mixing and sorting but are limited to Dean’s flow only. This work first reports the Dean’s instability flow in high aspect ratio channels on the deka-microns level for $$De>162$$

Fractionation of Magnetic Microspheres in a Microfluidic Spiral: Interplay between Magnetic and Hydrodynamic Forces. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Magnetic forces and curvature-induced hydrodynamic drag have both been studied and employed in continuous microfluidic particle separation and enrichment schemes. Here we combine the two.

PIV-Measurements of Centrifugal Instabilities in a Rectangular Curved Duct with a Small Aspect Ratio

open access: yesFluids, 2021
In this study, experimental measurements were undertaken using non-intrusive particle image velocimetry (PIV) to investigate fluid flow within a 180° rectangular, curved duct geometry of a height-to-width aspect ratio of 0.167 and a curvature of 0.54 ...

Analysis of Dean vortices and sediment distribution in inlet passage of nearshore pump stations under solid-liquid two-phase conditions

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
Dean vortices are secondary flow vortices formed by the coupling effect of centrifugal and viscous forces when fluid flows through curved pipes. In nearshore pump station inlet flow passages, inhaled sediment interacts with Dean vortices, complicating ...
