- Abstract
This paper introduces a new based-on ultrasonic wave micro-fluid driving technique that is different from the present principle. The standing wave is generated by ultrasonic vibration in the device, and acoustic field is generated simultaneously. The particles in fluid medium of the device move towards the node of the standing waves caused by the effect of acoustic radiation pressure. A new device structure has been designed based on piezoelectric drive principle. The vibration modes and response has been obtained by FEA. The simulation results also indicate the feasibility of movements. Considering the influence of vibrator dimension, the dimension of the vibrator has been optimized. The experiment has been accomplished in the device with polystyrene spheres and achieves the enrichment of the particles.
