Within microcentrifuge devices, a microfluidic vortex separates larger particles from a heterogeneous suspension using inertial migration, a phenomenon that causes particles to migrate across streamlines. The ability to selectively capture…

A novel mechanism for the transport of microscale particles in viscous fluids is demonstrated. The mechanism exploits the trapping of such particles by rotational streaming cells established in the vicinity of an oscillating cylinder,…

Mixtures of active and passive particles are ubiquitous at the microscale. Many essential microbial processes involve interactions with dead or immotile cells or passive crowders. When passive objects are immersed in active baths, their…

Conventional microparticle transports by light or sound are realized along a straight line. Recently, this limit has been overcome in optics as the growing up of the self-accelerating Airy beams, which are featured by many peculiar…

In these fluid dynamics videos, we show how bubbles flowing in a thin microchannel interact under an acoustic field. Because of acoustic interactions without direct contact, bubbles self-organize into periodic patterns, and spontaneously…

Bubbles are ubiquitous in many research applications ranging from ultrasound imaging and drug delivery to the understanding of volcanic eruptions and water circulation in vascular plants. From an acoustic perspective, bubbles are resonant…

Actuating the acoustic resonance modes of a microfluidic device containing suspended particles (e.g., cells) allows for the manipulation of their individual positions. In this work, we investigate how the number of resonance modes $M$…

Acoustic manipulation in microfluidic devices enables contactless handling of biological cells for Lab-on-Chip applications. This paper analyzes the controllability of multi-particle systems in a one-dimensional acoustic standing wave…

Mechanisms for non-invasive target drug delivery using microbubbles and ultrasound have attracted growing interest. Microbubbles can be loaded with a therapeutic payload and tracked via ultrasound imaging to selectively release their…

The efficient mixing of fluid samples in miniaturized total analysis systems is essential for numerous applications including biological screening assays, chemical extraction, polymerization, cell analysis, and protein folding. Miniaturized…

We study the time-domain acoustic wave propagation in the presence of a micro-bubble. This micro-bubble is characterized by a mass density and bulk modulus which are both very small as compared to the ones of the background vacuum. The goal…

Sound can move particles. A good example of this phenomenon is the Chladni plate, in which an acoustic wave is induced in a metallic plate and particles migrate to the nodes of the acoustic wave. For several years, acoustophoresis has been…

The controllability of passive microparticles that are advected with the fluid flow generated by an actively controlled one is studied. The particles are assumed to be suspended in a viscous fluid and well separated so that the far-field…

We use an acoustic Lagrangian tracking technique, particularly adapted to measurements in open flows, and a versatile material particles generator (in the form of soap bubbles with adjustable size and density) to characterize Lagrangian…

We develop and present a unified multi-scale model (involving three scales of spatial organisation) to study the dynamics of rigid aggregating particles suspended in a viscous fluid medium and subject to a steady poiseuille flow. At…

Microbubbles, either in the form of free gas bubbles surrounded by a fluid or encapsulated bubbles used currently as contrast agents for medical echography, exhibit complex dynamics under specific acoustic excitations. Nonetheless,…

It is well known that acoustic fields can produce forces on single particles, however they can also induce inter-particle forces due to multiple scattering events. This multi-particle force -- here referred to as acoustic binding -- is…

We numerically study the dynamics of run-and-tumble particles confined in two chambers connected by thin channels. Two dominant dynamical behaviors emerge: (i) an oscillatory pumping state, in which particles periodically fill the two…

We present micro-PIV measurements of suspended microparticles of diameters from 0.6 um to 10 um undergoing acoustophoresis in an ultrasound symmetry plane in a microchannel. The motion of the smallest particles are dominated by the Stokes…

Ultrasound-driven microbubbles are increasingly being investigated for both molecular imaging and therapeutic applications. To be effective, these bubbles must be brought into close proximity or direct contact with the target site.…
