A data driven framework for optimizing droplet microfluidics with residual block and Fourier enhanced networks by Alireza Samari, Kamal Jannati, Azadeh Jafari

“…We developed two innovative machine learning models: the Fourier-Enhanced Network (FEN), which utilizes Fourier series to decompose input features into harmonic components; and the Residual Block Network (ResBNet), which incorporates skip connections within residual layers to capture complex nonlinear patterns. ResBNet demonstrated high accuracy in predicting relative droplet radius, Strouhal number, and optimized geometric ratios, while FEN offered computational efficiency and robust performance across a broad range of flow rates. …”
