Field induced motions of microparticles and fluids for mixing dye degradation energy harvesting

Abstract

This thesis elaborately explored the movement of microparticles in confined microchannels under electrophoretic and chemophoretic fields Effect of various parameters like surface heterogeneity the shape of particle confinement and concentration of the solution on the movement of the particle and the hydrodynamics surrounding the particle when the particle is in motion have been studied in details The actual motion of the particle was captured using Fluid Structure Interaction fsi module...
