Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD) is a versatile tool for performing basic operations in Digital Microfluidic Systems. In EWOD, surface tension between a liquid droplet and solid substrate is modulated by applying voltage to an electrode and a hydrophobic surface is transformed into a ... En savoir plus
Organ-on-a-chip microdevices combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic the multicellular architectures, tissue-tissue interfaces, physicochemical microenvironments, and vascular perfusion of the body.[1] Such devices are being developed to provide better levels ...

Predicting and controlling the formation of droplets from a liquid jet is a critical problem in a variety of applications ranging from fuel injection to paint sprays. It is known that liquid droplets subjected to an electric field acquire a net electrostatic charge via induction, and ... En savoir plus
A two-dimensional numerical simulation study has been performed to model an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) micropump. The emphasis of this study was on simulating the effect of the different geometric design parameters on the micropump pressure head and volume flow rate. The simulated design ... En savoir plus
Introduction - The ability to achieve rapid and homogeneous mixing at microscales is one of the essential requirements for various lab-on-a-chip applications [1]. The flow at microscales is characterized by low Reynolds number, resulting in laminar flow patterns. Thus, the mixing at ... En savoir plus
Introduction The COMSOL Multiphysics® software and its CFD Module have a physics interface for solving Laminar Two-Phase Flow problems using the Level Set method (1). This paper discusses how the tool may be used with more than two phases when the flow is laminar. It then introduces a ... En savoir plus
INTRODUCTION The dynamic behavior of droplet impingement on a solid surface is important to many engineering applications, such as rain drops on automobile windshields, inkjet deposition and metal deposition in manufacturing processes, spray cooling of electronics, and spray coating for ...
