| description abstract | Return bends are frequently encountered in microfluidic systems. In this study, a three-dimensional spectral boundary element method for interfacial dynamics in Stokes flow has been adopted to investigate the dynamics of viscous droplets in rectangular return bends. The droplet trajectory, deformation, and migration velocity are investigated under the influence of various fluid properties and operational conditions, which are depicted by the Capillary number, viscosity ratio, and droplet size, as well as the dimensions of the return bend. While the computational results provide information for the design of return bends in microfluidic systems in general, the computational framework shows potential to guide the design and operation of a droplet-based microfluidic delivery system for cell seeding. | |
