Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Particles suspended in a laminar flow through a narrow channel are known to migrate toward specific positions in the channel cross-section due to the presence of the inertial lift force. As the focusing position and focusing distance of particles depend on their size, shape and deformability, this phenomenon can be applied to the separation of suspended cells using suitably designed microfluidic devices. As a basis for the design of microfluidic devices, this study investigated the inertial migration of particles flowing through straight channels experimentally and numerically, focusing on the effect of deformability of suspended particles and the viscoelastic property of the suspending fluid.
