Lecture

Microfluidics: Scaling Laws and Applications

Description

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of microfluidics, focusing on the Reynolds number, laminar flow, vortices, swimming behavior at low Reynolds numbers, viscous damping, sedimentation of particles, pressure drop, flow profiles, and particle manipulation in laminar flows. It also discusses the Knudsen number in gas flows and lift forces affecting particle focusing. Examples from nature and engineering applications are provided to illustrate these concepts.
