Complete Investigation

Understanding the fluid dynamics around a particle in suspension is important for a complete investigation of many hydrodynamic phenomena, including microfluidic models. A novel tool that has been used to analyze fluid velocity fields in microfluidics is micro-resolution particle image velocimetry (μPIV) [1]. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a technique that can translate and trap particles by induced polarization in the presence of nonuniform electric fields. In this paper, DEP has been used to capture and suspend a single 10.1μm diameter spherical particle in a microfluidic channel. μPIV is then used with smaller tracer particles (0.5μm) to investigate the hydrodynamics of fluid flow past the trapped particle.

Substitution Procedure

A classical substitution procedure for solving Poisson’s equation ∇2φ = −K is extended by application of certain coordinate transformations suggested by the functional form of K. The method is applied to the determination of fluid-velocity fields in two curvilinear geometries.

Abstract This paper presents experimental measurements and observations of instantaneous flow structures inside an inkjet printhead, using a micron-resolution Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system to record visualized flows and calculate velocity fields. The PIV technique uses 700 nm diameter fluorescent flow-tracing particles, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser, an epi-fluorescent microscope and an interline-transfer CCD camera to record images of a flow at two successive instances in time. By measuring how far a set of particles move during a specified duration of time, an estimate of the local fluid velocity can be obtained. An electronic timing strategy has been developed to synchronize the PIV lasers, the CCD camera and the drop ejection system. An overall flow pattern during a 500 μs ejection cycle has been observed by phase-averaging hundreds of instantaneous velocity fields, which were recorded at 2–5 μs intervals throughout the cycle. A velocity field with spatial resolution of approximately 10 μm was obtained near the inkjet nozzle. Meniscus and nodes inside the printhead were also observed and recorded.

Undulatory Swimming

AbstractThe swimming behaviour of micro-organisms can be strongly influenced by the rheology of their fluid environment. In this article, we experimentally investigate the effects of shear-thinning (ST) viscosity on the swimming behaviour of an undulatory swimmer, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Tracking methods are used to measure the swimmer’s kinematic data (including propulsion speed) and velocity fields. We find that ST viscosity modifies the velocity fields produced by the swimming nematode but does not modify the nematode’s speed and beating kinematics. Velocimetry data show significant enhancement in local vorticity and circulation and an increase in fluid velocity near the nematode’s tail. These findings are compared with recent theoretical and numerical results.
