Microfluidic inertial switch with delay response characteristics

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract This paper proposes an innovation microfluidic inertial switch structure with precise time delay response characteristic, which can be used in the fuze safety and arming system. The switch works on the principle of fluidic inertial force and capillary valve, which makes it sensitive to the unidirection acceleration load and has ...

A flowing pair of particles in inertial microfluidics

Soft Matter, 2019
A flowing pair of particles in inertial microfluidics gives important insights into understanding and controlling the collective dynamics of particles like cells or droplets in microfluidic devices. For rigid particles we determine the two-particle lift force profiles, which govern their coupled dynamics.
