Abstract :
This article analyze and simulate the velocity, pressure and flow profile behavior of two different kinds of laminar, Newtonian, two dimensional flows after crossing an equal angle successive bifurcation microchannel network using Comsol® Multiphysics. This study has been reproduced for 30°, 40°, 60° and 90° angles networks. Incoming channels have a diameter of 1.28mm (syringe needle) and time dependant pressure of Pin = 50 [Pa] + 50 [Pa] · t. There are 256 outcoming channels of 5μm diameter and Pout = 0[Pa].
