Fig. 7: Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of the migration trajectories of the particles initially located in five representative positions within the channel cross section.
From: Mapping inertial migration in the cross section of a microfluidic channel with high-speed imaging

The initial positions are marked by solid circles (mass centers of the 18.7-μm-diameter particles) with different colors. a An overview of the particle migration paths of the five particles within the channel cross section at Re = 50. The black open circles indicate the two final focusing positions. b–f Graphs showing the close-up details of the five migration paths. The arrows indicate the migration direction.
