In AC electrowetting, it has been reported that there is a flow inside droplets. The flow characteristics such as flow rate, direction and the pattern of streamline are altered according to the frequency range of applied voltage. However, the mechanism of the flow has not been explained yet. This work is concentrated on investigation of the flow mechanism when high-frequency voltage is applied to droplets. We propose that this phenomenon arises from the electro-thermal flow. A numerical analysis is performed for the needle-electrode-plane geometry in which the Coulombic force term is included in the Navier-Stokes equation. According to our analysis, electrical charge is generated due to conductivity gradient which is originated from the nonuniform Joule heating of fluid medium. The result of the analysis is compared with experimental result.

This paper introduces microfluidic manipulation of microorganism by opto-electrokinetic technique, named rapid electrokinetic patterning (REP). REP is a hybrid method that utilizes the simultaneous application of a uniform electric field and a focused laser to manipulate various kinds and types of colloidal particles. Using the technique in preliminary experiments, we have successfully aggregated, translated, and trapped not only spherical polystyrene, latex, and magnetic particles but also ellipsoidal glass particles. Extending the manipulation target to cells, we attempted to manipulate saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), the most commonly used microorganism for food fermentation and biomass production. As a result, S. cerevisiae were assembled and dynamically trapped by REP at arbitrary location on an electrode surface. It firmly establishes the usefulness of REP technique for development of a high-performance on-chip bioassay system.

최근 전기방사를 이용한 프린팅이 미세 패터닝 분야에 응용이 되고 있다. 전기방사를 이용한 패터닝은 연속 프린팅 방식으로 기존의 요구적출형 방식에 비해 패터닝 속도가 빠르다는 장점이 있다. 안정적인 연속 프린팅을 위해서는 고분자의 폴리머를 프린팅하려고 하는 잉크에 혼합하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 PEO 를 이러한 첨가 폴리머로 사용하였다. 이러한 폴리머의 첨가에 대한 잉크의 점도 및 Taylor cone 형성에 대해 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 마지막으로 전기방사 프린팅의 예로서 실버 페이스트 잉크를 유리 기판 위에 패터닝하였다.

In level set method, material properties are made to change smoothly across an interface of two materials with different properties by introducing an interpolation or smoothing scheme. So far, the weighted arithmetic mean (WAM) method has been exclusively adopted in level set method, without complete assessment for its validity. We showed here that the weighted harmonic mean (WHM) method for rate constants of various rate processes, including viscosity, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and permittivity, gives much more accurate results than the WAM method. The selection of interpolation scheme is particularly important in multi-phase electrohydrodynamic problems in which driving force for fluid flow is electrical force exerted on the phase interface. Our analysis also showed that WHM method for both electrical conductivity and permittivity gives not only more accurate, but also more physically realistic distribution of electrical force at the interface. Our arguments are confirmed by numerical simulations of drop deformation under DC electric field.

In this paper, a dynamics model embedded navigation filter is newly suggested for underwater autonomous systems without position or attitude aid. In order to ensure the observability on the INS errors, the hydrodynamics of the underwater vehicle is incorporated with the INS attitude error. This approach allows us to estimate and compensate the INS errors in spite of using external velocity sensor. Through the simulation, the performance and effectiveness of the proposed scheme are demonstrated.

Printing technology is a very useful method in the several process of industrial fabrication due to noncontact and fast pattern generation. To make micro pattern, we investigate the electrostatic induced inkjet printer head for micro droplet generation and drop-on-demand jetting. In order to achieve the drop-on-demand micro droplet ejection by the electrostatic induced inkjet printer head, the pulsed DC voltage is supplied. In order to find optimal pulse conditions, we tested jetting performance for various bias and pulse voltages for drop-on-demand ejection. In this result, we have successful drop-on-demand operation and micro patterning. Therefore, our novel electrostatic induced inkjet head printing system will be applied industrial area comparing conventional printing technology.

For chromaticity correction, it is necessary to dispense high viscosity phosphor slurry since it greatly affects the performance of white LEDs. However, it is quite difficult to dispense high viscosity fluorescent materials. In the current study, micro-discharge electrostatic printing has been used for dispensing various high viscosity phosphor slurries. We have achieved dispersions of up to 50 µg using drop on demand (DOD) discharge experiments. The experiments were conducted with different combinations of process variables such as applied voltage, pneumatic pressure, and frequency.

To understand EHD nucleate boiling heat transfer enhancement, EHD effects on R-113 nucleate boiling heat transfer in a non-uniform electric field were investigated. The pool boiling heat transfer and the dynamic behavior of bubbles in d.c./a.c. electric fields under a saturated or subcooled boiling were studied by using a plate-wire electrode and a high speed camera. From the pool boiling heat transfer study, the shift of the pool boiling curve, the increase of the heat transfer and the delay of ONB and CHF points to higher heat fluxes were observed. From the dynamic behavior of bubbles, it was observed that bubbles departed away from the whole surface of the heated wire in radial direction due to EHD effects by a nonuniform electric field. With increasing applied voltages, the bubble size decreased and the active nucleation site and the departure number of bubbles showed the different trend. The present study indicates that the EHD nucleate boiling heat transfer is closely connection with the dynamic behavior of bubbles and the secondary flow induced near the heated surface. Therefore, the basic studies on the bubble behavior such as bubble frequency, bubble diameter, bubble velocity and flow characteristics are necessary for complete understanding of the enhancement mechanism of the boiling heat transfer using an electric field.
