Applications• “Lab on a Chip” (LOC):
separation, identification of small (pL – nL) biochemical samples
• Microscale chemical reactors• Single-use medical diagnostics• Thermal management: heat pipes,
heat spreaders At these spatial scales, surface
forces become significant• Is there new flow physics at the
microscale?

Track motion of tracer assuming tracer follows flow Particle tracer-based techniques
• Micro-particle image velocimetry (PIV): spatial resolution >2 m; near-wall capability 0.5–1 m Santiago et al. 98
• Laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV): resolution ~2.5 m; near-wall capability 40 m: point data Czarske et al. 02
• Confocal scanning PIV: resolution >1.3 m; near-wall capability ~1.3 m Park et al. 04, Kinoshita et al. 07
Molecular tracer-based techniques• Molecular tagging velocimetry (MTV): (in-plane) resolution ~160
m Roetmann et al. 08
• Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS): (wall-normal) resolution ~1.6 m: point data Lumma et al. 03

INTERFACIAL TRANSPORT
Are there new interfacial phenomena at the microscale?• Recent studies report there may be “slip” within O(0.1 µm) of
the wall, especially for hydrophobic surfaces• “Local” methods (e.g. PIV, FCS) for studying interfacial
transport based on velocities of colloidal tracers• Standard ()PIV assumes tracers follow flow and uniformly
sample fluid velocity u(z)• DLVO theory nonuniform near-wall
distribution due to electric double layer (EDL) interactions, van der Waals effects
• External electric field (electrokinetically driven flows) tracer electrophoresis, charge polarization

INTERFACIAL PIV
Evanescent wave-based particle-image velocimetry • Evanescent waves created by TIR of light at glass-water
interface: illumination created at and bounded by interface• at glass-water
interface
• Typically image over z 4zp based on camera noise floor
• Exploit nonuniform illumination intensity to estimate tracer z-positions from their image intensity Ip(z) assuming exponential decay with length scale zp
• Given variations in tracer properties (variations in Ip of 9% for tracers at same z), collect ensemble of z-positions for O(105) tracers near-wall tracer distribution
Near-wall velocimetry and Brownian diffusion studiesZettner & Yoda 03, Kihm et al. 04, Pouya et al. 05, Huang et al. 07, Lasne et al. 08

Obtain velocities at different z-positions within 400 nm of wall• Separate tracers based on Ip(z) into 3–
4 layers: brighter particles closer to wall
• Separately process layers velocities u(z)
• Linear regression gives slope ( = shear rate), |intercept| b
Validated for 2D Poiseuille flows in hydrophilic microchannels• within 5% of analytical predictions

BIASES IN MNPIV
Simulations using synthetic images show: Far away from wall, velocities underestimated due to
nonuniform illumination• Brighter particles contribute more to cross-correlation• Use particle-tracking approaches instead
Close to wall, velocities overestimated • Asymmetric hindered diffusion particles likelier to move away from
the wall, sampling larger velocitiesSadr et al. 07

Use MnPIV to study slip in steady fully-developed flow• Compare near-wall shear rate with exact solution for flow
between parallel plates (H = 33 m)
• Re = 0.05–0.22 • Linear velocity profile for z < 400 nm:
500–2300 s–1
