Abstract:Understanding droplet migration in stenosed microchannels is crucial for various applications. This study explores how droplet properties (viscosity, surface tension, density, and diameter) and channel characteristics (stenosis degree and wall elasticity) affect droplet movement and blockage in deformable stenosed microchannels. Higher viscosities lead to lubrication film formation between droplet and wall, reducing viscous resistance, while increased surface tension enhances wall adherence, amplifying Laplace… Show more
