This paper investigates hydrodynamic focusing inside a microchannel. Hydrodynamic focusing has a number of applications in microfluidics such as micromixer, microcytometer, fluidic switch, and cell infection. In contrast to most of the previous works, hydrodynamic focusing phenomenon in this study i...
