Microfluidic Pump Driven by Anisotropic Phoresis [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Applied, 2019
Fluid flow along microchannels can be induced by keeping opposite walls at different temperatures, and placing elongated tilted pillars inside the channel. The driving force for this fluid motion arises from the anisotropic thermophoretic effect of the elongated pillars that generates a force parallel to the walls, and perpendicular to the temperature ...
