Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, design methodology of micro-pumps using induced-charge electrophoresis based on topology optimization concept was developed. Design criteria for micro-pumps were clarified and the design problem was formulated as topology optimization problem based on multiphysics numerical analysis. The developed design methodology was implemented as a computer program and several numerical design solutions were provided.
