The elasticity of the non-Newtonian fluids induces intriguing phenomena, such as elastic instability and turbulence, even at extremely low Reynolds numbers. This is the consequence of the nonlinear nature of the rheological constitutive equations. The nonlinear characteristic of non-Newtonian fluids can dramatically change the flow dynamics, and is useful to enhance mixing at the microscale. Electrokinetics in the context of non-Newtonian fluids are also of significant importance, with their potential applications in micromixing enhancement and bio-particles manipulation and separation. In this Special Issue, we welcomed research papers, and review articles related to the applications, fundamentals, design, and the underlying mechanisms of non-Newtonian microfluidics, including discussions, analytical papers, and numerical and/or experimental analyses.History of engineering & technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscadaptive dynamic mesh refinementbioheat equationboundary layer analysisbrownian motionbvp4cchemical reactionconstructive and destructive chemical reactionconvective boundary conditionsdielectric fielddirection-dependentdroplet deformationdroplet migrationeffective thermal conductivityelastic instabilityelectroosmosiselectroosmotic flowentropy generationerror analysisfinite element procedurefinite element schemefractal scalinggroup similarity analysisheat and mass transfer ratesheat generationheat transferheterogeneous surface potentialhuman bodyhybrid nanofluidhybrid nanoparticlesinduced magnetic fieldinertial focusingJanus dropletjoule heatingLaplace transformmaxwell nanofluidmicrofluidmicrofluidicsmicromixing performanceMonte Carlon/ananoparticle volume fractionnon-Newtonian fluidOldroyd-B modelOpenFOAMparametric investigationparticle separationporous mediaporous rotating diskpower-law fluidpower-law modelpower-law nanofluidRK4 techniqueshear-thinning fluidSoret and Dufour effectspiral channelstretching diskthermal radiationsthermal relaxation timethermally radiative fluidtransient two-layer flowtri-hybrid nanoparticlesvariable magnetic fieldviscoelastic flowviscoelastic fluidviscoelastic materialviscoelasticityviscous dissipationvolume of fluid methodvon karman transformationwall obstaclewettability gradientwettable surfaceHistory of engineering & technologyTechnology: general issuesMei Lanjuedt1314129Qian ShizhiedtMei LanjuothQian ShizhiothBOOK9910585939503321Non-Newtonian Microfluidics3031740UNINA
