WSS Investigation in Microfluidic FFS Channel at Re 500

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wall shear stress (WSS) is one of the important variables in microfluidic devices. In this paper WSS distribution for a microfluidic device in Forward Facing Step (FFS) configuration has been investigated using Reynolds number 500 and step height 1μm. Numerical simulation was performed usingAnsys-CFX software with the assumption of Newtonian fluid and laminar condition. The simulation result showed that wall shear stress distribution increased after the fluid passing through the step.
