Extensional effects in viscoelastic fluid flow through a micro-scale double cross-slot

The flow of viscoelastic fluids through a microfluidic flow-focusing device was studied numerically. The conceived device is shaped as a double cross-slot with three entrances and three exits, in a symmetric configuration, aiming to achieve a constant extensional rate (<(epsilon) over dot>) at...
