Abstract:Lateral displacement of microparticles suspended in a viscoelastic fluid flowing through a microfluidic channel occurs due to an imbalance in the first (N1) and second (N2) normal stress differences. Here, we studied the lateral displacement of fluorescent microparticles suspended in a polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution in a two-phase flow with aqueous sodium alginate, flowing through a unique microfluidic device that manufactures microparticles seeded alginate-based hollow microfibers. Parameters such as conc… Show more
