On the Role of Saffman Force in Inertial Microfluidics
Journal Title: Global Journal of Engineering Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
In this brief review article, the effects of Saffman force in inertial microfluidics-based systems are discussed and investigated. A short discussion regarding the applications of microfluidics, especially inertial microfluidics, is given. Then, the importance of the present investigation is illustrated. The Saffman force is mathematically formulated based on matched asymptotic expansion approach. Moreover, the physical concept of this lift force is discussed in this analysis. Finally, the influences of various physical and material parameters on the Saffman force are investigated.
