Abstract:The purpose of this study is to characterize the dynamic response of fluid flow in microchannels, which can show significant delay times before reaching steady flow conditions. Two main sources of these delays are numerically and experimentally investigated, the hydraulic compliance which originates from the flexibility of the system components (microchannel, tubing, syringe, etc.), and the compressibility of the liquid dead volume in the setup, also known as the “bottleneck effect”. A fluid‐structure interact… Show more
