What is Dynamics of Capillary Flow in a Channel with Constrictions and Enlargements about?

Open microfluidics or open-surface is becoming fundamental in scientific domains such as biotechnology, biology and space. First, such systems and devices based on open microfluidics make use of capillary forces to move fluids, without any need for external energy. Second, the "openness" of the flow facilitates the accessibility to the liquid in biotechnology and biology, and reduces the weight in space applications. This book has been conceived to give the reader the fundamental basis of open microfluidics. It covers successively -The theory of spontaneous capillary flow, with the general conditions for spontaneous capillary flow, and the dynamic aspects of such flows.-The formation of capillary filaments which are associated to small contact angles and sharp grooves.-The study of capillary flow in open rectangular, pseudo-rectangular and trapezoidal open microchannels.-The dynamics of open capillary flows in grooves with a focus on capillary resistors. The case of very viscous liquids is analyzed.-An analysis of suspended capillary flows: such flows move in suspended channels devoid of top cover and bottom plate. Their accessibility is reinforced, and such systems are becoming fu
