Engineering particle trajectories in microfluidic flows using particle shape
Recent advances in microfluidic technologies have created a demand for techniques to control the motion of flowing microparticles. Here we consider how the shape and geometric confinement of a rigid microparticle can be tailored for ‘self-steering’ under external flow. We find that an asymmetric par...
