摘要： Fluid manipulation is very important in lab-on-a-chip system. This paper analyzes phenomena which use the alternating current (AC) electric field to deflect and manipulate coflowing streams of two different electrolytes (with conductivity gradient) within a microfluidic channel. The basic theory of the electrohydrodynamics and simulation of the analytical model are used to explain the phenomena. The velocity induced for different voltages and conductivity gradient are computed. The results show that when the AC electrical signal is applied on the electrodes, the fluid with higher conductivity occupies a larger region of the channel and the interface of the two fluids is deflexed. It will provide some basic references for the people who want to do more study in the control of diffrent fluids with conductivity gradient in microfluidic channel.
