A neural network based macromodel has been developed for a microflow sensor and implemented in the circuit simulator SPICE3f5. The model has been validated with numerical simulations and allows accurate and efficient simulation of microflow sensors in a microfluidic system. This model simulates both the steady-state and the dynamic operation of the flow sensor. The neural network design is based on a problem-based scaling and a combination of stochastic search and the genetic algorithm. The macromodel can be used for microfluidic system simulation and the optimal design of the flow sensor.
