Particle image velocimetry studies of suspension transport in bifurcating channels

Abstract

Experimental measurements of velocity and concentration profiles were carried out to study transport of non colloidal suspension in bifurcating micro channels for diverging converging and diverging converging flow conditions using a combination of Mirco Particle Image Velocimetry PIV and Particle Tracking Velicimetry PTV techniques Migration of particles across the streamline was observed and symmetric velocity and concentration profile in the inlet branch becomes asymmetric in the daughte
