Deformation of Microchannels Embedded in an Elastic Medium

Vivek Ramachandran

The deformation of microfluidic channels in a soft elastic medium has a central role in the operation of lab-on-a-chip devices, fluidic soft robots, liquid metal (LM) electronics, and other emerging soft-matter technologies. Understanding the influence of ...

ASME2018

Inspired by recent experiments using synthetic microswimmers to manipulate droplets, we investigate the low-Reynolds-number locomotion of a model swimmer (a spherical squirmer) encapsulated inside a droplet of a comparable size in another viscous fluid. Me ...

A three-scale offline–online numerical method for fluid flow in porous media

Assyr Abdulle, Ondrej Budác

A new multiscale method combined with model order reduction is proposed for flow problems in three-scale porous media. We derive an effective three-scale model that couples a macroscopic Darcy equation, a mesoscopic Stokes-Brinkman equation, and a microsco ...

Multiscale methods for Stokes flow in heterogeneous media

Ondrej Budác

Fluid flow in porous media is a multiscale process where the effective dynamics, which is often the goal of a computation, depends strongly on the porous micro structure. Resolving the micro structure in the whole porous medium can, however, be prohibitive ...

Numerical Approximation of Flows in Random Porous Media

Francesco Tesei

The objective of this thesis is to develop efficient numerical schemes to successfully tackle problems arising from the study of groundwater flows in a porous saturated medium; we deal therefore with partial differential equations(PDE) having random coeffi ...

Microfluidic-integrated vertical electrodes employed in impedance-based cytometry

Enrica Rollo

During the last decades, the growing interest for single-cell analysis has led to the creation of a number of microfluidic and lab-on-a chip (LOC) platforms for characterizing cellular samples. In that context label-free based platforms are minimally invas ...

Multiscale model reduction methods for flow in heterogeneous porous media

Assyr Abdulle, Ondrej Budác

In this paper we provide a general framework for model reduction methods applied to fluid flow in porous media. Using reduced basis and numerical homogenization techniques we show that the complexity of the numerical approximation of Stokes flow in heterog ...

We present an easy, durable method to generate a partially hydrophilic/hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic device. The functionality of this device was assessed in a double flow focusing design to fabricate core–shell structured poly(lac ...

Boundary elements method for microfluidic two-phase flows in shallow channels

François Gallaire, Mathias Nagel

In the following work we apply the boundary element method to two-phase flows in shallow microchannels, where one phase is dispersed and does not wet the channel walls. These kinds of flows are often encountered in microfluidic Lab-On-A-Chip devices and ch ...

A numerical study of droplet trapping in microfluidic devices

François Gallaire, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Mathias Nagel

Microfluidic channels are powerful means of control of minute volumes such as droplets. These droplets are usually conveyed at will in an externally imposed flow which follows the geometry of the micro-channel. It has recently been pointed out by Dangla et ...
