An Introduction to Microfluidic Simulations

What it is about

You get a compact overview of microfluidic systems, their special properties and the differences to classical flow problems. Based on various numerical models at macro-, meso- and micro-scale you will learn suitable simulation methods and will be able to explain selected procedures and their application areas at the end.

What you will be able to do

• Understand properties of microfluidic systems
• Differentiate from classical fluid-mechanical systems
• Name important physical phenomena and dimensionless numbers
• Know fundamentals of macroscopic modeling
• Know fundamentals of mesoscale modeling
• Know fundamentals of microscale modeling
• Know details and application examples of some numerical methods from all three scale ranges
