Content and learning outcomes
Course disposition
Course contents
The course contains a series of seminars where the following subjects are discussed: governing equations in microfluidics; ultrasound resonances in microsystems; piezoelectricity and acoustic coupling; acoustic radiation forces; acoustic streaming; particle manipulation and trapping; and various applications of the technology in life sciences. Students are expected to prepare before, and lead these discussions.
Intended learning outcomes
After completion of the course the student shall:
- Explain theoretical concepts and derivations in acoustofluidics.
- Implement the theory for designing a microscale acoustofluidic system.
- Evaluate different experimental methods in microscale acoustofluidics.
