Micromagnet Capture Modeling in MATLAB with FEATool and CFDTool
Exosomes are nanoscale, membrane-bound particles released by cells. In experiments at Dartmouth, researchers attached magnetic beads to exosomes so they could collect them on small magnetic structures, or micromagnets. Under flow, those structures have to hold onto the bead-exosome complexes against the drag of the …
Electro-Osmotic Flow
This multiphysics example examines microfluidic flow and coupled mass transport due to electroosmosis in a channel with a T-shaped junction. With application of an electric field in a micro channel a flow effect is induced along the walls due to chemical reactions between the liquid and the wall material. This effect …
