Abstract

This paper reports the relation between the driving pressure and the characteristics of virtual vortex gear (VVG). VVG is a phenomenon that fluid vortices rotate like a set of gears on a microfluidic chip. The mechanism of VVG was recently reported, while this abstract provides quantitative analysis of VVG on different driving pressures and channel dimensions. The observed characteristics are essential for potential VVG applications, such as on-chip mixers and flow-based cell manipulation.
