Modeling the Transition between Localized and Extended Deposition in Flow Networks through Packings of Glass Beads

Modeling the Transition between Localized and Extended Deposition in Flow Networks through Packings of Glass Beads

We use a theoretical model to explore how fluid dynamics, in particular, the pressure gradient and wall shear stress in a channel, affect the deposition of particles flowing in a microfluidic network. Experiments on transport of colloidal particles in pressure-driven systems of packed beads have shown that at lower pressure …
