Abstract
Microchannel flow of dense bidispersed suspensions containing particles of two different sizes, both in high concentrations, can lead to selective enrichment of larger particles along the channel center due to shear-induced particle migration. Here, we show experimentally that subjecting such a flow to an acoustic standing wave field hastens the particle migration and segregation process, and also design a numerical model that explains the observations.
