title = "Numerical investigation of surface acoustic wave driven microparticle acoustophoresis",
abstract = "We present a numerical study to investigate the acoustophoretic motion of particles inside a liquidfilled polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) microchannel actuated by surface acoustic waves (SAW). We employ a perturbation approach to divide the flow variables into time-harmonic first order components and steady second-order components. We investigate a range of particle sizes to demonstrate the transition from streaming-drag-dominated to radiation-force-dominated acoustophoresis. We also demonstrate numerically the capability to tune the position of a pressure node by tuning the phase difference between two incoming SAWs.",
