| Abstract | Optoelectrokinetic effects were effectively used for rapid concentration of particles in microfluidics. In this study, we clarified detail mechanism of particle aggregation by numerical simulation using COMSOL v4.2a multiphysics software. A 3D simulation was conducted with axisymmetric boundary conditions. AC voltage was applied to the two parallel electrodes in a microchannel to generate temperature gradient in the fluids. In addition to the AC electrothermal (ACET) effect, local heating by a laser illumination was also considered. Numerical simulations were carried out for dielectric fluids. A toroidal microvortex induced by the optoelectrokinetic effect shows that fluid motions in the middle of bottom boundary are cancelled out by flows in opposite directions and consequently producing stagnation. It is expected that micro/nano particles can be deposited in the bottom electrode. Local heating by the laser illumination enhanced the intensity of microvortex substantially. It is confirmed that the dominant driving force for the microvortex is natural convection by the laser illumination, however AC voltage is necessary for particle aggregation in the spot area. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
