This paper introduces an advantageous self-mixing phenomenon created during the formation of aqueous two-phase systems in a digital microfluidic device, for the first time The influence of such self-mixing on enhancement of on-chip extraction kinetics is quantified and reported, highlighting a significant mixing capability in the absence of forced mixing Results suggest potential applications of the self-mixing concept in portable microfluidics, where implementing complicated mixing sequences or device geometries are problematicread more

Dynamics of Drop Deformation and Breakup in Viscous Fluids
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of drop deformation and breakup in viscous flows at low Reynolds numbers are described. And a short discussion is given of the stability of the shapes of translating drops, and the effects of flow and material parameters on the drop size distribution are summarized.

Surface‐tension‐induced mixing following coalescence of initially stationary drops
TL;DR: In this paper, momentumless coalescence of drops of the same liquid, separated by an immiscible host, is studied experimentally and the penetration depths of small drops (1-5 mm) following coalescence are measured and correlated with theoretical predictions.
