thermophoresis effect on particles suspended in air flowing through microchannel

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam




Here, I am using thermophoresis model file for reference in which hydrogen fluid flowing through pipe and particles deflect from their paths dur to heated wall.

but, I want to verify thermophoresis effect on fine particles (<=2.5 um) in air fluid flowing through 200 um microfluidic channel... i used gravity, drag, brownian and most importantly thermophoretic force to trace path of the particles.
although i have checked for various parameter changes( ex. temp, fluid flow rate, particle density ), I couldn't be able to change particles tracing paths which is same in all the simulations.

so, can anybody help?
