- Abstract
- Boundary walls in microfluidic devices have a strong influence on the fluid flow and drag forces on moving
objects. The Stokes drag force acting on a sphere translating in the fluid is increased by the presence of a
neighboring wall by a factor given by Faxén's correction. A similar increase in the rotational drag is expected
when spinning close to a wall. We use optical tweezers to confirm the translational drag correction and report
the hitherto unmeasured rotational equivalent. We find that the corrections for the rotational motion is only
required for particle-wall separations an order of magnitude shorter than that for the translational cases. These
results are particularly significant in the use of optical tweezers for measuring viscosity on a picolitre scale. (literal)
