High Resolution Real Time Phase Contrast Radiology Study of Hydrodynamic in Micrometer Scale
Abstract
Investigation of achieving direct imaging of fluid hydrodynamics in the microfluidic devices using a newly developed X-ray phase contrast radiology technique. The capability of direct imaging in real time of this new technique allows us to study the internal dynamics of the formation of the bubbles in respond to the localized heat or vibration in a microfluidic device. With such information, one can tie the images of the internal bubble formation with the external formation of the sprays to support the numerical simulation, which can be used to improve the functionality of ink-jet printer head. Apart from the ink flow study, one can also study mechanism of nano-particle flow in micro-scaled fluidic channels, which may eventually lead to the better understanding of the mechanism of drug delivery.
