Investigation of combined electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow in rough microchannels / Prashant R. Waghmare in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 130 N° 6 (Juin 2008) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 130 N° 6 (Juin 2008) . - 8 p. Titre : Investigation of combined electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow in rough microchannels Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Prashant R. Waghmare, Auteur ; Sushanta K. Mitra, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 8 p. Note générale : Fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : surface  roughness;  electro-osmotic  flow;  pressure-driven  flow;  microchannel Résumé : The present study is carried out to investigate the influence of surface roughness in combined electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow in microchannel. Two-dimensional theoretical model is developed to predict the behavior of velocity profiles in rough microchannel. The concept of surface roughness-viscosity model is used to account the effect of surface roughness. The pluglike velocity profile for electro-osmotic flow and the parabolic velocity profile for pressure-driven flow with delay in attaining the centerline velocity are observed. It is found that for electro-osmotic flow, the deviation in velocity profile from a flow in a smooth channel occurs near the wall, whereas in pressure-driven flow, such deviation is dominant in the core region. A superposition of pluglike and parabolic velocity profiles is found in combined electro-osmotic and pressure-driven flow. It is also observed that in the case of combined flow, the deviation in velocity profile from the smooth channel case reduces gradually with the distance from the wall.

Numerical study of capillary flow in microchannels with alternate hydrophilic-hydrophobic bottom wall / Auro Ashish Saha in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 131 N° 6 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 131 N° 6 (Juin 2009) . - 12 p. Titre : Numerical study of capillary flow in microchannels with alternate hydrophilic-hydrophobic bottom wall Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Auro Ashish Saha, Auteur ; Sushanta K. Mitra, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 12 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : flow  in  patterned  microchannel;  two-dimensional  numerical  simulation;  bottom  wall Résumé : A two-dimensional numerical simulation of flow in patterned microchannel with alternate layers of different sizes of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces at the bottom wall is conducted here. The effect of specified contact angle and working fluid (de-ionized (DI) water and ethanol) on capillary phenomena is observed here. The volume of fluid method is used for simulating the free surface flow in the microchannel. Meniscus profiles with varying amplitude and shapes are obtained under the different specified surface conditions. Nonsymmetric meniscus profiles are obtained by changing the contact angles of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. A meniscus stretching parameter is defined here and its relation to the capillary phenomena in the microchannel is discussed. Flow variation increases as the fluid traverses alternately between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The pattern size and the surface tension of the fluid are found to have significant influence on the capillary phenomena in the patterned microchannel. Smaller pattern size produces enhanced capillary effect with DI water, whereas no appreciable gain is observed for ethanol. The magnitude of maximum velocity along the channel height varies considerably with the pattern size and the contact angle. Also, the rms velocity is found to be higher for smaller alternate patterned microchannel. The meniscus average velocity difference at the top and bottom walls increases for a dimensionless pattern size of 0.6 and thereafter it decreases with the increase in pattern size in the case of DI water with hydrophilic-hydrophobic pattern. Using such patterned microchannel, it is possible to manipulate and optimize fluid flow in microfluidic devices, which require enhanced mixing for performing biological reactions.

On the derivation of pressure field distribution at the entrance of a rectangular capillary / Prashant R. Waghmare in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 132 N° 5 (Mai 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 132 N° 5 (Mai 2010) . - 04 p. Titre : On the derivation of pressure field distribution at the entrance of a rectangular capillary Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Prashant R. Waghmare, Auteur ; Sushanta K. Mitra, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : 04 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : pressure;  momentum;  flow  (dynamics);  channels  (hydraulic  engineering);  equations Résumé : In capillary flow, integral momentum approach is used to derive the governing equation, which requires an expression for the pressure field at the inlet of the capillary. Generally, the pressure field for circular capillary is deduced with hemispherical control volume. This expression has been extended for other noncircular capillaries with an equivalent radius approximation. In case of high aspect ratio channels, the semicylindrical control volume needs to be considered. In the present study, the correct expression for the entrance pressure field for high aspect ratio capillaries is derived with such appropriate control volume.
