A review on inertial microfluidic fabrication methods
Biomicrofluidics, 2023 In recent decades, there has been significant interest in inertial microfluidics due to its high throughput, ease of fabrication, and no need for external forces. The focusing efficiency of inertial microfluidic systems relies entirely on the geometrical features of microchannels because hydrodynamic forces (inertial lift forces and Dean drag forces ...

Spiral Inertial Microfluidics for Separation and Concentration of Phytoplankton
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023 Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a recurring phenomenon along all continents, posing a global threat, particularly due to shellfish poisoning and public health, and their timely monitoring is vital for safeguarding the blue economy. The ability to efficiently isolate species of interest, such as harmful dinoflagellates, is a key process for HABs ...

Transport of nonspherical particles in non-Newtonian fluid: A review [PDF]
International Journal of Fluid EngineeringThe transport of spherical particles in microchannel flow has been extensively studied owing to its relevance to efficient particle control, particularly in high-throughput cytometry and in single-cell detection and analysis. Despite significant advances

Inertial microfluidics with multi-particle collision dynamics [PDF]
The European Physical Journal E, 2012 Using the method of multi-particle collision dynamics (MPCD), we investigate inertial focussing in microfluidic channels that gives rise to the Segré-Silberberg effect. At intermediate Reynolds numbers, we model the motion of a spherical colloid in a circular microchannel under pressure-driven flow.
