CFD Solutions Ltd Provides Services in CFD Analysis, Computer Modelling, Process Simulation and Design

Microfluids Technologies

FLOW3D simulation of micro-droplet interaction and well-filling Microfluids is emerging as one of the most important sectors of MEMS technology. It encompasses the fabrication of microscopic channels, nozzles, pumps, and valves used to mix and regulate microscopic quantities of fluids.

This technology is finding greater acceptance in the fields of printing, medicine, chemistry, clinical analysis and forensics (to name but a few) and embraces many important applications areas including Inkjet Printing, Micro-Total-Analysis Systems and Lab-on-a-Chip.

Typical processes simulated with CFD include:

printing
fluid coating
droplet impact and spreading
fluid separation
electro-wetting
surface wetting behaviour and control

CFD Solutions Ltd have provided detailed design services in CFD analysis of many inkjet printing and related components and our client list has included;

AVECIA
Pattering Technologies Ltd
Hewlett Packard (DIMO) Ireland
FujiFilm Electronic Imaging
