Whatever state-of-the-art technologies or methods are used to manufacture a microfluidic channel, the channel will never be 100% smooth. There will always be surface irregularities and over the course of time, there may even be clogs or blockages. So it is quintessential to observe and understand the flow physics of generated droplets in a microfluidic channel when surface discontinuities are present in the downstream of the droplets (observed in the video).
