Numerical Investigations on Electric Field Characteristics with Respect to Capacitive Detection of Free-Flying Droplets

In this paper a multi-disciplinary simulation of a capacitive droplet sensor based on an open plate capacitor as transducing element is presented. The numerical simulations are based on the finite volume method (FVM), including calculations of an electric field which changes according to the presenc...
