The scaling of acoustic streaming for application in micro-fluidic devices

The scaling of acoustic streaming for application in micro-fluidic devices
The scaling of acoustic streaming for application in micro-fluidic devices
Recent interest in MEMS devices in general, and in microfluidic devices specifically, has spurred a great deal of research into the behavior of fluids in very small-scale devices. Many novel techniques have been proposed for the propulsion of fluids in small-scale devices including peristaltic and electrokinetic. More recently, investigations have considered the use of acoustic streaming, that is, the imposition of steady fluid momentum via nonlinear acoustic effects. The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of the physics of acoustic streaming, to discuss the various physical phenomena which generate the effect, and to highlight the favorable scaling issues of acoustic streaming that make it a viable alternative in microfluidic devices.

Abstract

Recent interest in MEMS devices in general, and in microfluidic devices specifically, has spurred a great deal of research into the behavior of fluids in very small-scale devices. Many novel techniques have been proposed for the propulsion of fluids in small-scale devices including peristaltic and electrokinetic. More recently, investigations have considered the use of acoustic streaming, that is, the imposition of steady fluid momentum via nonlinear acoustic effects. The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of the physics of acoustic streaming, to discuss the various physical phenomena which generate the effect, and to highlight the favorable scaling issues of acoustic streaming that make it a viable alternative in microfluidic devices.
