Microfluidic devices were used widely to study the behavior of fluid flow in a controlled manner. An interesting topic in the field of mixing two viscous fluids is utilizing the phenomenon of folding of a viscous thread in a diverging channel. This report mainly focuses on the flow instability of a...
