9-13 June 2014, The 18th European Conference on Mathematics for Industry, Taormina (Italy).
I am presenting a talk about my results on “An experimental and theoretical investigation of particle–wall impacts in a T-junction", the work … Continue Reading ››
With the term “microfluidic” we refer to the study and manipulation of fluids that can flow along small channels with typical transversal size of tenth of microns. Microfluidic lab-on-chip devices are usually designed to mimic on a much smaller scale operations performed in a standard laboratory, … Continue Reading ››
Thermophoresis, akin to thermal diffusion in simple fluid mixtures, consists of particle drift induced by a temperature gradient.
When a macromolecular solution or a colloidal suspension is placed in a uniform-temperature gradient the dispersed particles migrate, focusing at either the cold or hot side. This effect, akin to … Continue Reading ››
Understanding the behaviour of particles entrained in a fluid flow upon changes in flow direction is crucial in problems where particle inertia is important, such as the erosion process in pipe bends. We present results … Continue Reading ››
