Controlling inertial focussing using rotational motion [PDF]
, 2014 In inertial microfluidics lift forces cause a particle to migrate across streamlines to specific positions in the cross section of a microchannel. We control the rotational motion of a particle and demonstrate that this allows to manipulate the lift ...

Selective separation of microalgae cells using inertial microfluidics [PDF]
Bioresource Technology, 2018 Microalgae represent the most promising new source of biomass for the world's growing demands. However, the biomass productivity and quality is significantly decreased by the presence of bacteria or other invading microalgae species in the cultures. We therefore report a low-cost spiral-microchannel that can effectively separate and purify Tetraselmis ...

An unrecognized force in inertial microfluidics
, 2021 Describing effects of small but finite inertia on suspended particles is a fundamental fluid dynamical problem that has never been solved in full generality. Modern microfluidics has turned this academic problem into a practical challenge through the use of high-frequency oscillatory flows, perhaps the most efficient way to take advantage of inertial ...

Conditional stability of particle alignment in finite-Reynolds-number channel flow
, 2018 Finite-size neutrally buoyant particles in a channel flow are known to accumulate at specific equilibrium positions or spots in the channel cross-section if the flow inertia is finite at the particle scale.
