Abstract
This paper presents numerical results of fluid flows and mixing in a microfluidic device with AC electroosmotic flows (AC-EOF) around coplanar electrodes attached on the top and bottom walls. To obtain the flow and mixing characteristics, numerical computations are performed by using a commercial code, CFX10. Experiment was performed to confirm the generation of the drift velocity around the electrodes. It was found that near the coplanar electrodes 3-D complex flows are generated. The AC-electroosmotic flow on the electrodes plays an important role in mixing the liquid.
