The proposed framework accurately captures experimental and simulation data, providing a more flexible and interpretable alternative to existing complex or disparate models. The key advantage of our model lies in its mathematical properties. Continuity and a continuous derivative ensure seamless implementation into numerical simulations and theoretical predictions, leading to more understandable, stable, and accurate results. Additionally, the model adheres to physical principles, predicting convergence to bulk properties as channel size increases. Further, compared to existing exponential models, the unified power-law modeling approach offers several advantages. It provides flexibility by capturing nonlinear relationships and diverse data curvatures, interpretability through physically meaningful parameters, and adaptability for integration with other functions to model complex phenomena. Its simplicity facilitates easy parameter estimation, model interpretation, and computational efficiency. Moreover, its robustness makes it less sensitive to outliers and noise while maintaining fewer parameters that directly correspond to underlying physics and scaling laws.

Through comprehensive numerical simulations that solve the coupled modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck and Navier–Stokes equations, and accounts for finite ion size and ionic cloud overflow across nano-conduits, we evaluate the mixing performance and flow throughput for various obstruction arrangements within a microchannel by quantifying outlet tracer distributions, scalar dissipation rate, finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) fields, and average outlet velocities. Our results reveal that charged obstructions outperform uncharged counterparts in mixing performance, while <i>parallel</i> obstruction arrangements yield higher velocities and better mixing as compared to <i>alternate</i> arrangements. Surface charge density at the surfaces plays a critical role, with both low and high values facilitate effective mixing, albeit higher surface charge densities promote increased flow rates. However, distinct mixing mechanisms are observed at the low and the high surface charge cases as revealed by FTLE analysis while moderate values of surface charge delineate poor mixing performance. Notably, subsequent obstructions with axially overlapped zones emerge as a critical design for efficient mixing, a configuration previously unexplored. Exploiting these findings, we propose a simplified channel design with fewer obstructions, achieving excellent mixing and higher throughput while ensuring fabrication simplicity. The flow characteristics qualitatively agree with previous experiments but uniquely explore the impact of axially overlapping subsequent obstructions on mixing.

Accurate enumeration of CD4 T cells is crucial for assessing immune health and diagnosing various diseases. This study presents the development and validation of a novel microfluidic biochip system designed for the detection and counting of CD4 T cells using impedance measurements. The proposed system integrated a cell detection chip with a cost-effective signal processing circuit, which included an instrumental amplifier and a highly sensitive lock-in amplifier. The sensing structure, created using advanced microfabrication technology, consists of three microelectrodes and a 50 × 50 μm measurement aperture. The detection principle relied on the impedance imbalance caused by the presence of CD4 T cells in the fluidic flow between adjacent sensing electrodes. The system's performance was validated through extensive experiments, demonstrating high accuracy in detecting and counting CD4 T cells separated from whole blood based on their magnetic properties. The experimental results indicate that the proposed system was simpler, faster, and more cost-effective compared to traditional laser flow cytometry. Furthermore, the system’s portability and ease of use made it highly suitable for point-of-care diagnostics and on-site cell analysis. The utilization of microfabrication technology and impedance measurement not only enhanced efficiency and accuracy but also offered a reliable solution for rapid biological cell detection. Future work will focus on enhancing the throughput and miniaturizing the sensing structure to align with the high standards of conventional flow cytometry while maintaining cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

Existing research shows a considerable growth rate in the utilization of microfluidics-based techniques, especially in the biomedical field for disease detection, drug analysis, cell analysis, and more. However, the development of microfluidic systems for soil nutrition testing applications is still a challenging task due to the need for micro scale dimensions and a high degree of precision during the fabrication and detection of soil nutrients. The present investigation aims to find the most suitable design for the microfluidic chip that can control and detect microfluid containing soil nutrients, especially nitrites, effectively. To achieve this goal, the parameters of different microchannel (MC) specimens, such as snug height, channel width, obstacle pitch, mean mixture pressure, wall shear stress, strain rate, and total pressure, are analyzed. In addition, the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is introduced to statistically authenticate the obtained simulation data. As a result, the present investigation proposes the optimal MC design with optimal parameters: snug height of 0.35 mm, channel width of 1.54 mm, obstacle pitch of 2.5 mm, mean mixture pressure of 0.24 MPa, wall shear stress of 1.1 Pa, strain rate of 2259 s<sup>−1</sup>, and total pressure of 1.42 MPa.

By assuming small deflections, the fibers are treated as rigid rods hinged to a flat wall and the effects of the hydrodynamic force on the fibers are expressed with the moment of fluid forces by averaging the Navier–Stokes equations. For the uniformly moving case, displacement of the envelope is represented by a mass-spring-damper system driven by the hydrodynamic force.

Numerical simulations of fluid flow are conducted with the envelope displacement models as the boundary conditions at the canopy surface. The validity of the present models is assessed by comparison with the results of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulation, which directly solves the interaction between individual fibers and fluid by an immersed boundary method. With the envelope model for non-uniform displacement, the grid convergence of the numerical result is about a first order rate.
