Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104 (2007), 18892–18897 In this paper, the effects of alternating curvatures on the inertial migration of particles is investigated. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the balance between inertial lift forces and Dean drag forces are critical in determining the location of focusing position.
