Lubrication Force Saturation Matters for the Critical Separation Size of the Non-Colloidal Spherical Particle in the Deterministic Lateral Displacement Device

Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a popular technique for separating micro-scale and nano-scale particles continuously. In this paper, an efficient three-dimensional fictitious domain method is developed for the direct numerical simulation of the motion of a non-colloidal spherical particl...
