Abstract

Objects flowing in microfluidic devices can self-organise in ordered structures thanks to the hydrodynamic interactions mediated by either inertial or viscoelastic forces. Such structures have been found to be crucial to enhancing microfluidic applications such as single encapsulation, co-encapsulat...
