3D Printing Microfluidic Foundry
Microfluidics is the manipulation of micro-litres of fluid at the micro-scale1. The manipulation can lead to highly controlled and predictable fluid dynamics controlled mixing, separation as well as the manufacture of micro-droplets. Traditionally microfluidics required …

Microdroplet Production
Microfluidic droplet generation in microfluidics uses two immiscible fluids, often oil and aqueous solutions, forming stable droplets1. This requires a continuous phase, fluid around droplet, and a dispersed phase, the microdroplet. More about droplet formation …

BERNAISE (Binary ElectRohydrodyNAmIc SolvEr) | CFD
BERNAISE (Binary ElectRohydrodyNAmIc SolvEr) is a flexible high-level solver of electrohydrodynamic flows in complex geometries. It is written in Python and built on the Finite Element Computational Solver (FEniCS) project, which in turn effectively interfaces to …
