Pairwise interactions in inertially driven one-dimensional microfluidic crystals

In microfluidic devices, inertia drives particles to focus on a finite number of inertial focusing streamlines. Particles on the same streamline interact to form one-dimensional microfluidic crystals (or “particle trains”). Here we develop an asymptotic theory to describe the pairwise interactions u...
