PIV measurements of flow within plugs in a microchannel

Abstract: The use of two-phase flow in lab-on-chip devices, where chemical and biological reagents are enclosed within plugs separated from each other by an immiscible fluid, offers significant advantages for the development of devices with high throughput of individual heterogeneous samples. Lab-on-chip devices designed to perform the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are a prime example of such developments. The internal circulation within the plugs used to transport the reagents affects the efficiency of the chemical r… Show more

“…At low viscosity ratio (Fig. 3a) the droplet velocity is 15 higher than that of the continuous phase for the Ca range and droplet shapes studied. The v d /v c ratio is higher for spherical droplets, as expected due to the absence of wall effects and the intrinsic parabola-like flow profile in microchannels.…”
