Particle trajectories in a parabolic and constant velocity profile<\/strong><\/p>\n Capturing particles or droplets from a flow is relevant for various applications like continuous separators, aerosol removal, and magnetic drug targeting<\/a>. In a laminar flow, doubling the capturing of a small fraction of particles turns out to require a four times higher force or length of pipe or a four times lower flow velocity (Eq. 12). This is because particles from twice as far away have to be captured from a location where the flow velocity in a laminar flow is also twice as high. This simple scaling law, with an analytical correction for flow through cylindrical pipes (Eq. 35),\u00a0 turns out to hold well for a wide range of different force fields.<\/p>\n Annals of Biomedical Engineering<\/i>, vol. 37, nr. 12, p. 2436-2448 Particle trajectories in a parabolic and constant velocity profile Capturing particles or droplets from a flow is relevant for various applications like continuous separators, aerosol removal, and magnetic drug targeting.
