Microfluidics deals with the behaviour, precise control, and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small (typically sub-millimeter) scale. It is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, chemistry, microtechnology and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in which small volumes of fluids will be used.
Microfluidics is used in the development of inkjet printheads, DNA chips, lab-on-a-chip technology, micro-propulsion, micro-thermal technologies and micro-chemical reactors.
Application Notes
Analysis of 4th International PIV Challenge Case A
PIV images from the 4th PIV challenge, case A, were analyzed. Masking was done analytically, based on the raw images. Image pre-processing was used to improve the SNR of the particle images,[…]
