AbstractA numerical model is developed to analyse the interaction of artificial cilia with the surrounding fluid in a three-dimensional setting in the limit of vanishing fluid inertia forces. The cilia are modelled using finite shell elements and the fluid is modelled using a boundary element approach. The coupling between both models is performed by imposing no-slip boundary conditions on the surface of the cilia. The performance of the model is verified using various reference problems available in the literature. The model is used to simulate the fluid flow due to magnetically actuated artificial cilia. The results show that narrow and closely spaced cilia create the largest flow, that metachronal waves along the width of the cilia create a significant flow in the direction of the cilia width and that the recovery stroke in the case of the out-of-plane actuation of the cilia strongly depends on the cilia width.

Flow Through

AbstractManipulation of bio-fluids in microchannels faces many challenges in the development of lab-on-a-chip devices. We propose magnetically actuated artificial cilia which can propel fluids in microchannels. These cilia are magnetic films which can be actuated by an external magnetic field, leading to an asymmetric motion like that of natural cilia. The coupling between different physical mechanisms (magnetostatics, solid mechanics and fluid dynamics) is numerically established. In this work we quantify the flow through a microfluidic channel as a function of its geometry for a characteristic set of dimensionless parameters.

Artificial cilia systems are used for microfluidic manipulation. By analogy to the biological cilia, such systems seek to mix, separate, or propel fluids, particularly in the low-Reynolds-number regime, without damaging sensitive samples. An important category of artificial cilia systems is magnetically-actuated artificial cilia, since the driving magnetic field does not interact with many samples of interest. Simulation results are presented to show that linear modeling fails to adequately predict the optimal location due to strong nonlinear effects; using the linear result to select magnet placement results in amplitudes 84% lower than the amplitude with the optimal placement found using the nonlinear model. This represents a substantial loss in efficacy. Since large amplitudes are desirable to enhance flow manipulation, the results illustrate the importance of nonlinear dynamics models in the design of magnet-cilia devices.
