Micro-fluidized beds represent a novel means of significantly enhancing mixing, mass and heat transfer under the low Reynolds number flows that dominate in microfluidic devices. Major differences from their classical macro-scale counterparts are the critical importance of surface forces, which can even prevent fluidization, and almost unavoidable wall effects due to small bed size. Our experiments show interesting fluidization behavior at the boundary of micro-flow as a result of interplay between surface forces and wall effects.
