Description
Summary:In this paper we present the development of a software to simulate the fluid dynamics in microfluidic systems. The simulator is based on the Lattice Boltzmann method, which is an alternative to the traditional approach to solve Navier-Stokes equation. At this moment the software deals with 2D problems and we present the results of simulations performed in common structures found in microfluidics.
