  Up to date, inertial migration of particles in microflows has demonstrated a
great potential for a wide range of applications. In particular, this
phenomenon is used to achieve particle separation or sorting in a suspension.
Recent works reported that the focusing mode of particles can be modified in a
polydisperse suspension. Nevertheless, the impact of the particle sizes in a
mixture on their inertial migration has been rarely studied up to now. Thus, we
have investigated in this work the influence of bidispersity on the lateral
migration of the particles towards equilibrium positions and on their
longitudinal ordering into trains. Different changes in the particles behavior
were observed when the ratio between the particle sizes (dp1/dp2) varied from
1.64 to 4.58.
