This critical review discusses the current understanding of the formation, transport, and
merging of drops in microfluidics. We focus on the physical ingredients which determine the …

We review transport characteristics of pressure-driven, multiphase flows through
microchannel networks tens of nanometres to several hundred of micrometres wide with …

The use of segmented flow in capillaries, also known as Taylor flow, for reaction engineering
purposes has soared in recent years. On the one hand, Taylor flow has been used in …

Interest in structured catalysts is steadily increasing due to the already proven, as well as
potential, advantages of these catalysts. Updating the comprehensive coverage of the first …

This paper derives the difference in pressure between the beginning and the end of a
rectangular microchannel through which a flowing liquid (water, with or without surfactant …

The miniaturization of droplet manipulation methods has led to drops being proposed as
microreactors in many applications of biology and chemistry. In parallel, microfluidic …

In a capillary, the two‐phase pressure drop in Taylor slug flow was measured. A carefully
designed inlet section for the capillary allowed the independent variation of gas bubble and …

We present an extensive analysis of the performance of the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method,
as implemented in OpenFOAM, in modeling the flow of confined bubbles and droplets …

Over the past decades, Taylor flow has got an increasing interest due to its potential to
intensify reaction processes with fast kinetics which are usually controlled by mass transfer …

The improved mass transfer characteristics of Taylor flow, make it an attractive flow pattern
for carrying out gas—liquid operations in microchannels. Mass transfer characteristics are …
