Acoustic Streaming Pump for Microfluidic Applications

A prototype acoustic streaming pump for microfluidic applications was developed. A novel integration scheme was devised based on the acoustic reflector concept. Numerical simulations were conducted to predict the flow patterns around the transducer. Ultrasound transducers using P(VDF-TrFE) as the pi...
