SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE FLOW OF AEROSOLS

Abstract: a system and method for controlling the flow of aerosols. in some embodiments, a system includes a fluid channel, an actuator, and an actuator drive circuit. the actuator and the actuator drive circuit may be configured to impart vibrations, to a wall of the fluid channel, which produce waves in a gas in the fluid channel and cause aerosols in the gas to be nonuniformly distributed across the interior of the fluid channel, the waves producing a pressure pattern including a plurality of nodes or a plurality of antinodes within the fluid channel.
