Experimental and theoretical study of hydrodynamics of solid particle transport in small scale

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The manipulation of solid particles in small scales has numerous applications including blood cell counting in hematology labs, fabrication of organs for implants and drug discovery, removal of bacteria from drinking water and monitoring particulate matter concentrations in air pollution. The efficiency of many of these applications strongly depends on the interaction of the particles with the surrounding fluid. The characterization of these interactions, however, becomes more challenging due to the decreased length and time scales in these miniaturized technologies.
