Abstract

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are microscopic devices based technology mainly involving the moving parts. Bio-MEM is a particular affiliate of MEMS technology in general. This paper studies and analyzes variations of pressure and velocity inside the T-shaped channel at micron level. We have considered straight micro-channel for multi-field analysis among different types of micro-channels, i.e., sinusoidal, curved, straight, spiral and snake fang. The surface (inlet, outlet and walls) is defined for channel while water at 25C is to be assumed as working fluid. Moreover, parameters including diameter and length of channel are defined as well as meshing has been performed in 3-D formation. The fluid dynamics including pressure and velocity variation inside the channel are visualized using ANSYS CFX-solver.
