Micro elastofluidics is a transformative branch of microfluidics, leveraging the fluid–structure
interaction (FSI) at the microscale to enhance the functionality and efficiency of various …

A numerical framework is presented to predict the transport of soft elastic capsules
immersed in an incompressible fluid with the aim of simulating inertial microfluidics …

The capability and accuracy of the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM)
for simulating a precise manipulation of an individual magnetic bead on the edge of a …

We develop a numerical method for simulating the dynamics of a droplet immersed in a
generic time-dependent velocity gradient field. This approach is grounded on the hybrid …

We numerically investigate the formation and ordering of staggered oblate particle pairs in
three-dimensional straight ducts with a square cross section. The lattice Boltzmann method …

This work investigates the influence of concentration on the separation of microparticles in
spiral microchannels. Using numerical modeling, we study the impact of the particle …

The formation of pairs of particles or cells of different types in microfluidic channels can be
desired or detrimental in healthcare applications. It is still unclear what role softness …

As an important technique for manipulating particles in fluid–solid channel flows, inertial
focusing encourages the design of the channel geometry to enhance particle radial …

The steady-state behavior of a single drop under shear flow has been extensively
investigated in the limit of small deformation and negligible inertia effects. In this work, we …

We present a systematic simulation campaign to investigate the pairwise interaction of two
mobile, monodisperse particles submerged in a viscous fluid and subjected to …
