Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 28Modeling of Dielectrophoretic Particle Motion: Point Particle Versus Finite-Sized Particle(Wiley, 2017) Cetin, Barbaros; Oner, S. Dogan; Baranoglu, BesimDielectrophoresis (DEP) is a very popular technique for microfluidic bio-particle manipulation. For the design of a DEP-based microfluidic device, simulation of the particle trajectory within the microchannel network is crucial. There are basically two approaches: (i) point-particle approach and (ii) finite-sized particle approach. In this study, many aspects of both approaches are discussed for the simulation of direct current DEP, alternating current DEP, and traveling-wave DEP applications. Point-particle approach is implemented using Lagrangian tracking method, and finite-sized particle is implemented using boundary element method. The comparison of the point-particle approach and finite-sized particle approach is presented for different DEP applications. Moreover, the effect of particle-particle interaction is explored by simulating the motion of closely packed multiple particles for the same applications, and anomalous-DEP, which is a result of particle-wall interaction at the close vicinity of electrode surface, is illustrated.Article Citation - WoS: 1A NEW FORMULATION FOR THE BOUNDARY ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEMS WITH NONLINEAR BOUNDARY CONDITIONS(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2019) Baranoglu, BesimAn effective numerical method based on the boundary element formulation is presented to solve heat conduction equations which are governed by the Fourier equation, with nonlinear boundary conditions on one or more sections of the prescribed boundary. The solution involves the manipulation of the system matrices of the boundary element method and obtaining a smaller ranked matrix equation in which the unknown is only the temperature difference over the nonlinear boundary condition region. This way, the iterations to deal with the nonlinear conditions are performed faster. After finding the solution over the nonlinear boundary condition region, the solution over the entire boundary is obtained as a post-process through a prescribed relation. An example with a proven exact solution is employed to assess the results.
