Particle slip velocity influences inertial focusing of particles in curved microchannels

Abstract Size based separation and identification of particles in microfluidics through purely hydrodynamic means has gained significant interest due to a number of possible biomedical applications. Curved micro-channels, particularly spiral micro-channels with rectangular cross-section and the dyna...
