The microfluidic flow is typically laminar due to the dominant viscous effects. At Reynolds
numbers far below 1 (Re≪ 1), the fluid inertia can be neglected. For the steady flow of …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) stand as a prominent choice in regenerative medicine, yet
their therapeutic potential remains controversial due to challenges in maintaining lineage …

In this work, a series of experiments and numerical simulations performed using a volume-of-
fluid approach were carried out to investigate the flow of miscible viscous fluid systems …

Dynamics of water-high-viscosity ionic liquid ([BMIM][PF 6]) two-phase flow in a flow-
focusing device were investigated by using a high-speed digital camera. Four flow regimes …

The microflow behavior of liquid-liquid dispersions is experimentally investigated in the
presence of miscible fluid additives. Original microfluidic methods are developed to …

By imposing vibration to a core-annular flow of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) with
ultralow interfacial tension, we observe a liquid finger protruding from the interface of an …

Rapid layering of viscous materials in microsystems encompasses a range of hydrodynamic
instabilities that facilitate mixing and emulsification processes of fluids having large …

Biomedical applications often require to sort cells according to their physical properties,
such as size, density or deformability. In recent years, microfluidics has provided a variety of …

The laminar nature of microfluidic flows is most elegantly demonstrated via the confluence of
two fluids forming two stable parallel flows within a single channel meeting at a highly stable …

Flow focusing consists in injecting a core liquid into another surrounding flowing sheath
liquid. Here we investigate experimentally the influence of imposing pressure to generate …
