Abstract : We present Stokes flow past staggered circular cylinders in microchannel with an alternating slip and no-slip on the channel walls. We utilize Boundary Element Method (BEM) to numerically solve Stokes equation. In order to gain a deep insight of flow mechanics, we investigate the streamlines, velocity profiles, and pressure drops with varying slip-length, radius of the cylinder, and spacing between the cylinder. The findings of this study might be helpful for mixing enhancement in microchannel.
