Description
Theoretical Microfluidics by Henrik Bruus provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding microfluidics, a rapidly expanding scientific discipline that deals with fluids and solutions in miniaturized systems. This book offers a self-contained formulation of the underlying principles, accompanied by physical motivation and examples from lab-on-a-chip technology. Thirteen chapters delve into various aspects of microfluidics, including hydraulic resistance, diffusion, time-dependent flow, capillarity, electro- and magneto-hydrodynamics, thermal transport, two-phase flow, complex flow patterns, and acousto-fluidics. The book features simple models with analytical solutions to provide a thorough physical understanding of order of magnitudes and selected microfluidic phenomena and devices. Suitable for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate courses, this textbook also lends itself to self-study, thanks to its many pedagogical exercises designed to support student learning.
