Quasi-3D Modeling and Efficient Simulation of Laminar Flows in Microfluidic Devices

A quasi-3D model has been developed to simulate the flow in planar microfluidic systems with low Reynolds numbers. The model was developed by decomposing the flow profile along the height of a microfluidic system into a Fourier series. It was validated against the analytical solution for flow in a s...
