Single File Flow of Biomimetic Beads for Continuous SERS Recording in a Microfluidic Device

Figure 3

(a) 2D surface plots results of the local speed in the used microfluidic channels, for a particular value of w. (b) Normalized local speed of the liquid considered 200μm from the end of the channel and in the center of the chamber, plotted as function of its lateral dimension w. The reported simulation results correspond to the red data close to them. The local speed (v) was normalized by the speed obtained for the condition of a straight channel (v′), without the chamber (w=100μm).
