We discuss the basic physics of the flow of micron-scale droplets in 2D geometry. Our focus is on the use of droplet ensembles to look into fundamental questions of non-equilibrium systems, such as the emergence of dynamic patterns and irreversibility. We review recent research in these directions, which demonstrate that 2D microfluidics is uniquely set to study complex out-of-equilibrium phenomena thanks to the simplicity of the underlying Stokes flow and the accessibility of lab-on-chip technology.
我们讨论了二维几何中微米级液滴流动的基本物理学。我们的重点是使用液滴集合来研究非平衡系统的基本问题,例如动态模式的出现和不可逆性。我们回顾了这些方向的最新研究,这些研究表明,由于基础 Stokes 流的简单性和片上实验室技术的可及性,二维微流控技术非常适合研究复杂的非平衡现象。
