Particle focusing in a wavy channel

It is known that inertial lift forces can lead to particle focusing in channel flows; yet oscillatory straining effects have also been suggested as a mechanism for particle focusing in wavy channels. To explore the synergy between these two mechanisms, we analytically and experimentally investigate...
