Abstract :
This paper shows a result of simulations of the particle behavior at particle-liquid two phase flow via dielectrophoresis varied the number of electrodes by using COMSOL. Dielectrophoresis is very important technique to study tomography at micro-scale. The calculation parameters are Reynolds number, voltage and volume fraction, Particles volume fraction is the same in the each cases. As a result, the particle behavior and capacitance are changed by the case of electrode number and distance. This calculation result is very useful for developing a tomography conditions.
