Motion of droplet in microfluidic networks:complexity and passive solutions

Armand Ajdari
École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris (ESPCI)

The aim is of this talk is to the emphasize the intrinsic complexity of the flow of multiphasic fluids in branched networks, focusing on the fate of well defined trajectories in microfluidic networks. Simple arguments will be presented as a guide to help apprehending this complexity, as well as a propsal for passive control of the traffic at a simple T-junction.
