3D Finite Difference Formulation and Simulation of EHD Ion-Drag Model
Abstract
simulation package COMSOL Multiphysics. The comparison reveals that the numerical simulation results obtained by both the methods are appreciably close
to each other. The simulation results are also compared with the existing ex- perimental data and it was found that there are not high discrepancies between simulation and experimental results. The paper concludes that in case of regular geometries of ion-drag micropump the FDM is easy to implement and provides more control on different parameters involved in the simulation as compared to built-in finite element method based package.
