On importance of surface forces in a microfluidic fluidized bed

Fluidized beds potentially offer a means of significantly enhancing mixing, heat and mass transfer under the low Reynolds number flow conditions that prevail in microfluidic devices. However, as surface forces at the microscale can be significant relative to hydrodynamics forces, fluidization within...
