Abstract :
Fluid flow in microfluidic channels can be driven by an electric field or pressure gradient or a combined of these "forces". In this paper, the pressure and potntial distribution in microfluidic channels of a particular integrated micro fluidic device is investigated and The results obtained by numerical simulation were compared with results obtained by circuit modeling. Circuit modeling can be alternative for numerical.
