A Dynamic Electrowetting Simulation using the Level-Set Method Article uri icon

abstract

  • A simulation of electrowetting driven droplet dynamics is performed using the level-set two-phase flow application mode of COMSOL Multiphysics for a sessile droplet and for a droplet in a microchannel. For the sessile drop, the response of the drop to a step voltage is studied. For the droplet in a microchannel, the contact angle at one edge of the drop is varied in order to show droplet actuation.
