Fig. 5. Simulation of the drag force exerted on a rigid particle moving in a microchannel.

Fig. 5

Here simulations are performed for particles of diameter 12 μm moving in a channel of height 38 μm. a Velocity field in two orthogonal planes intersecting the particle. b Pressure field in the central plane parallel to the walls. c Convergence of the force depending on the grid refinement level.
