Course objectives
The objective of the course is to give a deeper view onto microfluidics as one of the miniaturization technologies. The students will not only learn about state-of-the-art developments in the field, but also have excercises including simulation and modelling.
Content of the course
The course discusses following aspects of microfluidics: fluid mechanics theory, scaling effect, microfabrication, flow characterization, components including mechanical and non-mechanical micropumps, microvalves, micromixers, microreactors, micro flow sensors and related design considerations. The excercises utilize simulation and modelling tools to design and test various microfluidics structures and situations.
Requirements
Final examination and approved excercises.
Literature
N.-T. Nguyen, S. T. Wereley: Fundamentals and Applications of Microfluidics
Information on prerequisites
None. But the student is assumed to have willingness to cross engineering disciplines. The course suits well for students having different backgrounds: automation, electrical, mechanical and environmental engineering and materials science.
