Dynamics of droplet motion under electrowetting actuation.
The static shape of droplets under electrowetting actuation is well understood. The steady-state shape of the droplet is obtained on the basis of the balance of surface tension and electrowetting forces, and the change in the apparent contact angle is well characterized by the Young-Lippmann equation. However, the transient droplet shape behavior when a voltage is suddenly applied across a drop...
متن کاملEnhanced Liquid Metal Micro Droplet Generation by Pneumatic Actuation Based on the StarJet Method
We present a novel pneumatic actuation system for generation of liquid metal droplets according to the so-called StarJet method. In contrast to our previous work [1, 2], the performance of the device has been significantly improved: The maximum droplet generation frequency in continuous-mode has been increased to fmax_=_11 kHz (formerly fmax_=_4 kHz). In addition, the droplet diameter has been ...
متن کاملNonlinear static and dynamic behaviors of a microresonator under discontinuous electrostatic actuation
This article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. The electrostatic actuation was induced by applying AC-DC voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. In contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. In additio...

متن کاملDroplet Shapes on Superhydrophobic Surfaces under Electrowetting Actuation
Droplet behavior on structured surfaces has recently generated a lot of interest due to its application to selfcleaning surfaces and in microfluidic devices. In this paper, the droplet shape and the droplet state on superhydrophobic surfaces are predicted using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) approach. Various structured surfaces are considered and the apparent contact angles are extracted from the p...
