Microfluidics/Driving flows at small scales

< Microfluidics

It is difficult to produce small turbines. Pumping fluid from outside is easier, but it is not simple to integrate as many tubings.

Specific solutions are needed: we list some of them below:

Electrokinetic effects

Electrostatics in solution

Electro-osmosis

Electro-phoresis

Dielectrophoresis

Acoustic streaming

Quartz wind

Boundary-induced streaming

Cavitation micro-streaming

Fluid structure interactions

Soft walls

Intelligent walls made of a responsive gel
