We show that because of neglecting the convective transport of ions originated out of the established streaming field itself, the traditional approach may result in physically inconsistent flow rate p...<br/>[Phys.

The crossbar is made up of two perpendicular square bars arranged in a biplane configuration and is included in the computational domain. The Reynolds number based on a bar diameter is about 16...<br/>[Phys. Rev.

Gollub, and D. J. Durian<br/>The effects of elasticity on filament thinning and breakup are investigated in microchannel cross flow. When a viscous solution is stretched by an external immiscible fluid, a low 100ppm polymer concentration strongly affects the breakup process, compared to the Newtonian case. Qualitatively, polyme...<br/>[Phys. Rev. E 77, 036309] Published Tue Mar 18, 2008 P. E. Arratia, J. P. Gollub, and D. J.
