Funded Activity Summary

Mathematics to underpin and drive novel inertial microfluidic technologies. Particles suspended in flow through microfluidic ducts migrate under inertial and drag forcing to different regions in the cross-section depending on particle size, duct geometry and control parameters, enabling isolation of, for example, cancer cells/microplastics from a blood/water sample. Device design needs mathematical models yielding understanding of the particle dynamics, and tools for determining geometry and control parameters. Particle boundary conditions strongly influence the inertial lift and drag forces that drive particle motion. This project will develop these mathematical tools for boundary conditions applicable to both passive and active particles, so driving development of novel devices for existing and new applications.
