Feedback control of inertial microfluidics using axial control forces [PDF]
, 2014 Inertial microfluidics is a promising tool for many lab-on-a-chip applications. Particles in channel flows with Reynolds numbers above one undergo cross-streamline migration to a discrete set of equilibrium positions in square and rectangular channel ...

Microscopic Investigation of Vortex Breakdown in a Dividing T-Junction Flow [PDF]
, 2018 3D-printed microfluidic devices offer new ways to study fluid dynamics. We present the first clear visualization of vortex breakdown in a dividing T-junction flow. By individual control of the inflow and two outflows, we decouple the effects of swirl and

Microfluidic switchboards with integrated inertial pumps [PDF]
Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2018 Arrays of H-shape microfluidic channels connecting two different fluidic reservoirs have been built with silicon/SU8 microfabrication technologies utilized in production of thermal inkjet printheads. The fluids are delivered to the channels via slots etched through the silicon wafer. Every H-shape channel comprises four thermal inkjet resistors, one in
