Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation of Particle Focusing and Separation in Viscoelastic Fluids

Particle focusing and separation using viscoelastic microfluidic technology have attracted lots of attention in many applications. In this paper, a three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) coupled with the immersed boundary method (IBM) is employed to study the focusing and separation of par...
