Simulation of concentration gradients in the ring-structured channel for a hypothetical case. (a) Model used where two solutions at different concentrations (Red—400 nM and Blue—0 were placed as concentric hollow cylinders. The concentration gradients were analyzed at region A–A’. (b) Time-course gradient distribution for centrifugal-assisted thermal convection (left) and free convection (right). (c) Graph showing the full time required for a complete mixing in the two cases studied; 4 times faster in the case with Coriolis force compared to without.
