Computational modeling of droplet based logic circuits
Abstract
The microfluidic universal computation has been simulated based on two-phase fluid flow at low Reynolds number using Computational Fluid Dynamics based on phase field numerical approach for investigation on spatial fluid dynamics. The presence or the absences of a bubble dispersed in a continuous liquid phase represent a bit `1' or `0' respectively. The working principle is based on the change in hydrodynamic resistance for a channel containing droplets.
