Hemodynamics in microcirculation is important for hemorheology and several types of
circulatory disease. Although hemodynamics research has a long history, the field continues …

Micromixers have important applications in lab-on-a-chip, biomanufacturing, and chemical
engineering. In this study, a micromixer with a conductive barrier plate based on the induced …

Predicting blood microflow in both simple and complex geometries is challenging because
of the composition and behavior of the blood at microscale. However, characterization of the …

Despite the development of microfluidics, experimental challenges are considerable for
achieving a quantitative study of phase separation, ie, the non-proportional distribution of …

The intent of this paper is to investigate the application of a pre-processing method
previously validated on glycerol to blood flows in microchannels and to compare the …

Blood flow and blood–endothelium interactions correspond with the genesis of
cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, quantitative analysis of blood flow dynamics at the …

Induced-charge electro-osmotic (ICEO) flow of polymer-containing electrolyte solution
around a cylindrical gold-coated stainless steel rod under AC electric field is measured by …

Micro-particle image velocimetry (μPIV) is used to visualize paired images of micro particles
seeded in blood flows. The images are cross-correlated to give an accurate velocity profile …

Microfluidic devices are frequently manufactured with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) due to
its affordability, transparency, and simplicity. However, high-pressure flow through PDMS …

High speed photography in micro-particle image velocimetry (μPIV) using red blood cells as
tracer particles and the use of fluorescing tracer particles (in conjunction with pulsed …
