Foreword
This book is a result of the efforts put by the authors in the preparation of the First Summer School on Complex Fluid-Flows in Microfluidics (10–14 July, 2017, University of Porto, Portugal). This five-day course includes five topics, which are summarized in the main chapters of this book: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Complex fluids and rheometry in microfluidics; Microfabrication techniques for microfluidic devices; Fluid-flow characterization in microfluidics; Numerical simulations of complex fluid-flows at microscale; Numerical optimization in microfluidics.
This is a concise and timely book, on an exciting area of research that has seen a tremendous increase of interest with the advent of cheap and reliable microfabrication techniques. The small length scales, typical of microfluidics, enhance the nonlinear response of complex fluid-flows, and this characteristic can be explored in several applications, from micro-rheometry techniques, to the investigation of purely elastic instabilities or elastic turbulence in low Reynolds nu
