摘要：

In a microfluidic ultrasonic separator device, the microchannel geometry is inherently angular due to the anisotropic etch processes used. A CFD model is used to investigate eddy formation induced by this angular geometry. Results are applicable to various microfluidic: devices and show that certain etch patterns significantly reduce eddy formation. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
