From: Efficient Low Shear Flow-based Trapping of Biological Entities
(a) Particles are released at the effective area, and the number of particles passing each trap is counted to estimate the trapping efficiency (contour color shows the velocity magnitude of particles), (b) Trapping probability of each trap site for three different designs (inlet velocity: 2.8 mm/s), (c) Trapping probability of each site during the trapping process (inlet velocity: 2.8 mm/s), when a trap site (Ti) is filled, its trapping probability is considered to be zero, (d) Changing the trapping efficiency versus the normalized trap location (x/L) by increasing the inlet velocity (velocity in mm/s, x: trap location shown in Fig. 3, L = length of the converging channel), (d) Total trapping probability with respect to the inlet velocity. (\(total\,trapping=2\sum _{0}^{7}{T}_{ei}\)).
