The flow field and the motion of particles are solved with the DF/FD method, the electric field is solved with the sharp inter- face method, and the electrostatic force on the particles is computed using the Maxwell stress tensor method. The proposed method is validated via three problems： effective conductivity of particle compos- ite between two planar plates, cell trapping in a channel, and motion of particles due to both conventional and traveling wave dielectrophoretic forces.展开更多
