Content and learning outcomes

Course disposition

Seminars, 12x2 h 

SEMl, 6,0 hp, Grade P/F 

Course contents

The course contains a series of seminars where the following subjects are discussed: governing equations in microfluidics; ultrasound resonances in microsystems; piezoelectricity and acoustic coupling; acoustic radiation forces; acoustic streaming; particle manipulation and trapping; and various applications of the technology in life sciences. Students are expected to prepare before, and lead these discussions. 

Intended learning outcomes

After completion of the course the student shall:

  • Explain theoretical concepts and derivations in acoustofluidics.
  • Implement the theory for designing a microscale acoustofluidic system.
  • Evaluate different experimental methods in microscale acoustofluidics.
