DEVELOPMENTS ON WETTING EFFECTS IN MICROFLUIDIC SLUG FLOW

Wetting effects form a dimension of fluid dynamics that becomes predominant, precisely controllable, and possibly useful at the micro-scale. Microfluidic multiphase flow patterns, including size, shape, and velocity of fluidic particles, and mass and heat transfer rates are affected by wetting prope...
