Acoustically actuated sessile bubbles can be used as a tool to manipulate microparticles, vesicles and cells. In this work, using acoustically actuated sessile semi-cylindrical microbubbles, we demonstrate experimentally that finite-sized microparticles undergo size-sensitive migration and trapping towards specific spatial positions in three dimensions with high reproducibility. The particle trajectories are successfully reproduced by passive advection of the particles in a steady three-dimensional streaming flow field augmented with volume exclusion from the confining boundaries. For different particle sizes, this volume exclusion mechanism leads to three regimes of qualitatively different migratory behavior, suggesting applications for separating, trapping, and sorting of particles in three dimensions.

Ultrasound-driven oscillating micro-bubbles have been used as active actuators in microfluidic devices to perform manifold tasks such as mixing, sorting and manipulation of microparticles. A common configuration consists on side-bubbles, created by t
rapping air pockets in blind channels perpendicular to the main channel direction. This configuration consists of acoustically excited bubbles with a semi-cylindrical shape that generate significant streaming flow. Due to the geometry of the channels, such flows have been generally considered as quasi two-dimensional. Similar assumptions are often made in many other microfluidic systems based on emph{flat} micro-channels. However, in this paper we show that microparticle trajectories actually present a much richer behavior, with particularly strong out-of-plane dynamics in regions close to the microbubble interface. Using Astigmatism Particle Tracking Velocimetry, we reveal that the apparent planar streamlines are actually projections of a emph{streamsurface} with a pseudo-toroidal shape. We therefore show that acoustic streaming cannot generally be assumed as a two-dimensional phenomenon in confined systems. The results have crucial consequences for most of the applications involving acoustic streaming as particle trapping, sorting and mixing.
In a shear flow particles migrate to their equilibrium positions in the microchannel. Here we demonstrate theoretically that if particles are inertial, this equilibrium can become unstable due to the Saffman lift force. We derive an expression for th
e critical Stokes number that determines the onset of instable equilibrium. We also present results of lattice Boltzmann simulations for spherical particles and prolate spheroids to validate the analysis. Our work provides a simple explanation of several unusual phenomena observed in earlier experiments and computer simulations, but never interpreted before in terms of the unstable equilibrium.
In nature turbulent flows exist that are neither simply 2D nor 3D but boundary conditions, such as varying stratification, force them towards the one or the other. Here, we report the first evidence of the co-existence of 2D and 3D turbulence in an e
xperimental flow driven by Faraday waves in water. We find that an inverse energy cascade at the fluid surface and a direct energy cascade in the 3D bulk flow underneath exist simultaneously. We base our analysis on temporally and spatially well-resolved velocity fields measured at horizontal and vertical planes. The findings suggest that the strongly turbulent 2D surface flow drives the 3D bulk flow through sporadic vertical jets as a source of momentum.
We present a comparison of different particles velocity and acceleration statistics in two paradigmatic turbulent swirling flows: the von Karman flow in a laboratory experiment, and the Taylor-Green flow in direct numerical simulations. Tracers, as w
ell as inertial particles, are considered. Results indicate that, in spite of the differences in boundary conditions and forcing mechanisms, scaling properties and statistical quantities reveal similarities between both flows, pointing to new methods to calibrate and compare models for particles dynamics in numerical simulations, as well as to characterize the dynamics of particles in simulations and experiments.
We discuss the possibility of dual local and non-local cascades in a 3D turbulent Beltrami flow, with inverse energy cascade and direct helicity cascade, by analogy with 2D turbulence. We discuss the corresponding energy spectrum in both local and no
n-local case. Comparison with a high Reynolds number turbulent von Karman flow is provided and discussed.
