Microfluidics

Microfluidics is a branch of fluid dynamics that focuses on the behavior, control, and manipulation of fluids at the microscale, typically involving channels and chambers with characteristic dimensions ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers, where fluid flow is dominated by viscous forces over inertial forces.
