    Microfluidic systems for the analysis of viscoelastic fluid flow phenomena in porous media

    In this study, two microfluidic devices are proposed as simplified 1-D microfluidic analogues of a porous medium. The objectives are twofold: firstly to assess the usefulness of the microchannels to mimic the ...

    Effect of the skimming layer on electro-osmotic—Poiseuille flows of viscoelastic fluids

    An analytical solution is derived for the micro-channel flow of viscoelastic fluids by combined electro-osmosis and pressure gradient forcing. The viscoelastic fluid is described by the Phan-Thien–Tanner model...
