SIMULATION AND RESEARCH OF THE SEPARATION OF TWO TYPES OF SUSPENDED PARTICLES IN A DISPERSED MIXTURE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ACOUSTIC FIELD
A mathematical model of the process of separating suspended microparticles in a dispersed mixture within a 2-branched channel of a microfluidic lab-chip under the influence of an acoustic field has been developed. The model is implemented in the environment of COMSOL Multiphysics, using thermoviscous acoustics, creeping flow, particle tracking in a fluid flow, and fluid-particle interaction multiphysics interfaces.
