Modeling and simulation of flow rate in microfluidic networks

In this study, we propose a simulation model of fluid flow in a microfluidic network using electric circuit components. Laminar flow in a single microfluidic channel is described by the circuit components, and a microfluidic network is synthesized by integrating the proposed single channel model. We also applied the robust controller to the proposed microfluidic network model to verify the model and the controller by numerical simulations.
