Acoustofluidics 14: Applications of acoustic streaming in microfluidic devices

Abstract

In part 14 of the tutorial series “Acoustofluidicsexploiting ultrasonic standing wave forces and acoustic streaming in microfluidic systems for cell and particle manipulation”, we provide a qualitative description of acoustic streaming and review its applications in lab-on-a-chip devices. The paper covers boundary layer driven streaming, including Schlichting and Rayleigh streaming, Eckart streaming in the bulk fluid, cavitation microstreaming and surface-acoustic-wave-driven streaming.
