Modeling of Droplet Generation in a Microfluidic Flow-Focusing Junction for Droplet Size Control

Micromachines, 2021
In this paper, we study the parameters that affect the generation of droplets in a microfluidic flow-focusing junction. Droplets are evaluated based on the size and frequency of generation. Droplet size control is essential for microfluidic lab-on-a-chip
