Ultrasound Standing Wave Action on Suspensions and Biosuspensions in Micro- and Macro Fluidic Devices
Invited Lecturers
- Henrik Bruus (Technical University of Denmark, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark)
- 6 lectures on: Theory of ultrasound standing wave action in microfluidics. Governing equations for flow and diffusion. Perturbation theory of ultrasound including acoustophoresis and acoustic streaming. Emphasis will be placed on basic theoretical concepts and their application to experiments.
- Juerg Dual (ETH Zentrum, Zuerich, Switzerland)
- 6 lectures on: Fundamentals of acoustics and vibrations in solids, fluid structure interaction. piezoelectricity, resonant and non resonant modes of excitation, numerical modeling, applications and characterization.
- Martyn Hill (University of Southampton, Great Britain)
- 6 lectures on: Single and multi degree of freedom oscillators and resonance. 2 and 3 port transducer representations & equivalent circuits. 1D matrix models and circuit element models. Fundamentals of cell manipulation including filtration, concentration and biosensing.
- Thomas Laurell (Lund University, Sweden)
- 5 lectures on: Microfabrication of microchip acoustic resonators and transducer characterisation. Acoustic valving, switching, mixing and chip integrated catalytic microreactors. Free flow acoustophoresis and affinity acoustophoresis in acoustic standing wave chips. Ultrasonic trapping, and coupling to biomedical analysis.
- Satwindar Singh Sadhal (University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1453, USA)
- 6 lectures on: “Acoustic streaming with drops, bubbles and particles.” The nonlinear interaction of ultrasound standing waves with interfaces gives rise to a mean dc flow known as streaming. This phenomenon has been analyzed for drops, bubbles and particles by singular perturbation.
- Martin Wiklund (KTH - Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden)
- 7 lectures on: Applications and practical aspects of ultrasonic manipulation, including instrumentation, optical monitoring, handling of bio-samples, safety and biocompatibility.
