Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We will develop an understanding of chaotic advection and stirring on the microscale so as to provide concrete design principles for the development of complex microfluidic devices and the control of fluid flows on microscales.The work will provide fundamental design principles to the growing industry of developers of microfluidic devices. It will provide the mathematical and computational tools for understanding how to create and destroy different types of flow structures in microfluidic devices, as well as an understanding how chaotic advection can be exploited for optimising mixing in microfluidic devices.
