- Abstract
This paper discusses a flexible design method of cell traps based on the topology optimization of fluidic flows. Being different from the traditional method, this method obtains the periodic layout of the cell traps according to the cell trapping requirements by proposing a topology optimization model. Additionally, it satisfies the cell trapping function by restricting the flow distribution while taking into account the overall energy dissipation of the flow field. The dependence on the experience of the designer is reduced when this method is used to design a cell trap with acceptable trapping performance. By comparing the influence of the changes of various parameters on the optimization results, the flexibility of the topology optimization method for cell trap structure optimization is verified. The capability of this design method is validated by several performed comparisons between the obtained layouts and optimized designs in the published literature.
