Dripping, jetting and tip streaming have been studied up to a certain point separately by both
fluid mechanics and microfluidics communities, the former focusing on fundamental aspects …

We provide a comprehensive and systematic description of the diverse microbubble
generation methods recently developed to satisfy emerging technological, pharmaceutical …

The formation of bubbles by flow focusing of a gas and a liquid in a rectangular channel is
shown to depend strongly on the channel aspect ratio. Bubble breakup consists in a slow …

Cylindrical liquid jets are inherently unstable and eventually break into drops due to the
Rayleigh-Plateau instability, characterized by the growth of disturbances that are either …

Capillary‐based microfluidics is a great technique to produce monodisperse and complex
emulsions and particulate suspensions. In this review, the current understanding of drop and …

A new regime of operation of PDMS-based flow-focusing microfluidic devices is presented.
We show that monodisperse microbubbles with diameters below one-tenth of the channel …

A bubble is slowly grown from a vertical nozzle until it becomes unstable and pinches off.
We use ultra-high-speed video imaging, at frame-rates up to 1 million fps⁠, to study the …

Analytical considerations and potential-flow numerical simulations of the pinch-off of
bubbles at high Reynolds numbers reveal that the bubble minimum radius, rn, decreases as …

We demonstrate and explain a simple and efficient way to remove gas bubbles from liquid-
filled microchannels, by integrating a hydrophobic porous membrane on top of the …

Liquid–liquid dispersion coupled with droplet formation and mass transfer of surfactants is
one of the most typical phenomena in many chemical processes. As in every aspect of this …
