Comparison of Micro-Mixing in Time Pulsed Newtonian Fluid and Viscoelastic Fluid [PDF]
Micromachines, 2019 Fluid mixing plays an essential role in many microfluidic applications. Here, we compare the mixing in time pulsing flows for both a Newtonian fluid and a viscoelastic fluid at different pulsing frequencies.

Biological benefits of collective swimming of sperm in a viscoelastic fluid [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Collective swimming is evident in the sperm of several mammalian species. In bull (Bos taurus) sperm, high viscoelasticity of the surrounding fluid induces the sperm to form dynamic clusters.

Numerical Study on the Characteristics of Boger Type Viscoelastic Fluid Flow in a Micro Cross-Slot under Sinusoidal Stimulation [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 The cross-slot geometry plays an important role in the study of nonlinear effects of viscoelastic fluids. The flow of viscoelastic fluid in a micro cross-slot with a high channel aspect ratio (AR, the ratio of channel depth to width) can be divided into ...

Degeneration-Driven and Load-Modulated Fluid-Driven Viscoelasticity of the Human Intervertebral Disc: A Probabilistic Biphasic Swelling Modeling Study [PDF]
BioengineeringIntervertebral disc (IVD) viscoelasticity is governed primarily by fluid transport driven by coupled osmotic and mechanical pressure gradients. Disc degeneration disrupts this balance through glycosaminoglycan loss and reduced cartilage endplate ...

Experimental Resonances in Viscoelastic Microfluidics
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 Pulsatile flows of viscoelastic fluids are very important for lab-on-a-chip devices, because most biofluids have viscoelastic character and respond distinctively to different periodic forcing.
