Magnetic Targeting of Particle Transport Under Pulsatile Flow

Magnetic Drug Targeting (MDT) has been shown to be a promising technique to effectively deliver medicinal drugs via functionalized [1] magnetic particles to target sites during the treatment of cancer and other diseases [2,3,4]. In this paper, we investigate the interaction of steady and pulsatile flows injected with a ferrofluid, which is a colloidal suspension of superparamagnetic nanoparticles in a glass tube under the influence of a …
