Micro and Nanofluidic devices: For Single cell and DNA analysis

Research in the field of Micro/nanofluidics has been extensively carried out for the last few years. With the available technological advancements today many complex systems can be fabricated in a more efficient and simpler way. Conventional methods in a laboratory consumes a lot of time, chemicals and in turn generates a lot of waste unlike the...

Computing the near-wall region in gas micro- and nanofluidics: Critical Knudsen layer phenomena

In order to capture critical near-wall phenomena in gas micro- and nanoflows within conventional CFD codes, we present scaled Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) constitutive relations. Our scaling is mathematically equivalent to applying an 'effective' viscosity to the original constitutive relations. An expression for this 'effective' transport...
