Flexible ferromagnetic filaments as artificial cilia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference paper › Research › peer-review

Abstract

The model of an artificial cilia as a flexible ferromagnetic filament in a rotating magnetic field is proposed. Numerical algorithm for the simulation of its behavior is developed and the characteristic shapes of the filament with one fixed end under the action of a rotating field are found. It is concluded that ferromagnetic filaments may be used as mixers in microfluidics.
