Design of Optimized Microfluidic Devices for Viscoelastic Fluid Flow

Alves M.A., Universidade do Porto - Faculdade de Engenharia, PT

In this work we present a fully automated procedure for the design of microfluidic devices with optimal performance. The proposed approach combines an in-house finite-volume viscoelastic flow solver, an optimizer, and an automatic mesh generation [...]

Optimal Shape Design of Pressure-Driven Curved Micro Channels with Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Walls

Lim S., Choi H., Seoul National University, KR

In microfluidic applications such as LOC, 90-deg. and 180-deg. curved channels are frequently used to supply long flow passage in a compact volume. In most curved channels, the part connecting two straight channels is made [...]
