Migration and segregation of confined droplets flowing in flexible channels with a rectangular cross-section

Migration and segregation of confined droplets flowing in flexible channels with a rectangular cross-section

Abstract We investigate the behavior of droplets flowing through flexible rectangular channels and uncover a fascinating phenomenon: pancake-shaped confined droplets migrate transversely toward the channel center. Our findings reveal that this migration is driven by a gradient in interfacial energy,...
