Inertial particle separation in helical channels: A calibrated numerical analysis

Inertial microfluidics has been used in recent years to separate particles by size, with most efforts focusing on spiral channels with rectangular cross sections. Typically, particles of different sizes have been separated by ensuring that they occupy different equilibrium positions near the inner w...
