Modeling the Fluid Dynamics of Electro-Wetting on Dielectric (EWOD)

Walker S., Shapiro B., University of Maryland, US

By applying voltages across a liquid droplet and an underlying dielectric, it is possible to make dielectric forces compete with surface tension forces, and to thereby cause the liquid droplet to change shape. This effect [...]

The Model of Porous Media – Complete Description for Aggregation of Bead-Monolayers in Flat Microfluidic Chambers

Grumann M., Dobmeier M., Schippers P., Brenner T., Zengerle R., Ducrée J., IMTEK, University of Freiburg, DE

In this paper we for the first time adopt the model of porous media to simulate the complete course of the formation of monolayers from bead suspensions in a flat microfluidic chamber. The chambers are [...]
