Geometrically Mediated Breakup of Drops in Microfluidic Devices
Geometrically Mediated Breakup of Drops in Microfluidic Devices is a scholarly work, published in 2004 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include flow, microfluidic device, nanotechnology, mechanics, microfluidics, Flow focusing, Electrowetting, breakup, Drop, and materials science. The authors demonstrate two methods for passively breaking larger drops into precisely controlled daughter drops using pressure-driven flow in simple microfluidic configurations: (i) a T junction and (ii) flow past isolated obstacles.
