In this paper we present the theoretical and experimental results of thermocapillary effects of liquid plugs in a long capillary, which is exposed to a transient temperature gradient. A one-dimensional analytical model is ...

Due to constrains caused by the laminar flow in microscale, effective and fast mixing is important for many microfluidic applications. From the scaling law, decreasing the mixing path can shorten the mixing time and enhance ...

An investigation of the effect of resonator dimensions on nonlinear standing waves in shaped resonators is conducted. Simple forms of the shear viscosity term in the momentum equations are developed for an axisymmetric ...

This paper theoretically and experimentally investigates a micromixer based on combined hydrodynamic focusing and time-interleaved segmentation. Both hydrodynamic focusing and time-interleaved segmentation are used in the ...
