Summary: Traditional two-dimensional fluid control strategies in microfluidic cell sorting have limitations in terms of precision and purity, while devices based on three-dimensional hydrodynamics offer better flow-focusing characteristics but are restricted by arbitrary sample positioning. The 3D hydrodynamic focusing sorting platform designed in this study has advantages in precisely controlling sample velocity and position, showing potential for high-accuracy Raman activated sorting.

Summary: We constructed an open and low-cost flow cytometer that integrates single cell aligning and fluorescence detection functions. The hardware cost for the LIF detection unit and 3D focusing device is $3200 and $400 respectively. The flow cytometer showed favorable assay precision and accuracy, and was successfully applied for evaluating ROS generation in single HepG2 cells.

Summary: In this study, the stability of hydrodynamic focusing to produce microemulsions is investigated experimentally and numerically. It is found that the distance between the feeding capillary and the focusing orifice affects the liquid ejection stability. Confined selective withdrawal enhances the stability of the microdripping mode. Surfactants stabilize the meniscus and promote the transition from microdripping to jetting. The global stability analysis accurately predicts the critical flow rate ratio and the droplet emission frequency.

Summary: We propose a microfluidic holographic cytometry technique that uses three-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing to accurately visualize, classify, and quantify cells and particles in a mixture. This technique achieves high-resolution holographic imaging without the need for computationally-expensive numerical refocusing used in existing methods. It also prevents cell clustering and can be fabricated at a low cost. The technique shows promise for label-free classification and quantification of infected cells in various applications.

Summary: This study provides data and correlations on the influence of viscosity and device scale on cavitation inception and pressure drop in high viscosity systems. It also investigates the key flow characteristics of vortex based cavitation devices. The results show that pressure drop and cavitation inception increase with viscosity.

Summary: This study investigates the inertial focusing phenomenon and its application in sample preparation and target manipulation in particulate suspensions. The asymmetric channel geometry is designed to promote sheathless focusing or size-dependent sorting. Experimental results are compared to simulation models to characterize the focusing behavior of particles with sizes close to blood cells and bacteria.

Summary: Oscillatory flows have the potential to overcome limitations of using steady flows for inertial focusing due to low particle Reynolds numbers. Unsteady inertial forces on inertial focusing have not been thoroughly examined. Experimental and theoretical studies show that oscillatory flows are remarkably efficient for inertial focusing, even at low particle Reynolds numbers.

Summary: The study focuses on optimizing the flow regime of alkali-catalyzed transesterification for enhancing biodiesel production rate. The optimal operating condition is found to be a 6:1 methanol-to-oil molar ratio, a total flowrate of 30 mL/min, and a rotational speed of 1000 rpm.

Summary: The effect of leading-edge shape on separation-induced transition on the suction surface is investigated through large eddy simulation. Two compressor controlled-diffusion airfoils with different leading-edge shapes are simulated, and two transitions are observed on the suction surface. The primary difference between the two airfoils lies in the leading-edge transition, which also leads to the distinction of fluctuating velocity amplitude and energy loss in the subsequent development of boundary layer flow.

Summary: Bionic coatings composed of gelatin-polysaccharide mixtures have been developed to reduce drag in turbulent flow. The release rate of polysaccharides and the properties of gelatin proportionally affect the drag reduction efficiency of the coatings. Further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms and improve the application potential of these biomimetic coatings.

Summary: The influence of surface roughness on transition to turbulence in a Mach 4.5 boundary layer is investigated. It is found that the shape and location of the localized roughness have a significant impact on the amplification of instability waves. A protruding roughness acts destabilizing upstream of the synchronization point and stabilizing downstream.

Summary: An innovative hybrid nanocarrier based on lipid-polymer coupling was proposed and validated for theranostics and multimodal imaging applications. The nanocarrier, prepared using Microfluidics, consists of a core-shell structure with a lipid bilayer enveloping a polymeric chitosan core, capable of co-encapsulating different compounds. The hybrid nanocarriers exhibit monodispersity, structural integrity in different environmental conditions, and high biocompatibility, making them suitable for MRI and Optical applications.

Summary: Wall-resolved large-eddy simulations (WR-LES) are used to study transitional and turbulent boundary-layer properties and flow structures downstream of a zigzag trip on the low-Reynolds-number SD7032 airfoil. It is found that a zigzag tape with sufficient thickness can induce transition quickly behind the trip through a shedding process, and lead to the formation of prominent three-dimensional vortical structures emanating from the zigzags. However, an overly thick tape will generate a thicker turbulent boundary layer, resulting in increased displacement and momentum loss and contributing to total drag.
