Laplace is a electric field driven flow simulation program for detailed device design support. Transport processes include electrokinesis, dielectrophoresis, and diffusion. Laplace solves for the electric field in a microfluidic system and the liquid and particle flow that is produced by the electric field for the primary purpose of microfluidic design development and simulation. Laplace allows you to visualize the flow by tracking tracer particles, viewing flow streamlines, etc. Laplace can make movies of simulated particle motion to allow you to test and share the behavior of microfuidic designs. The electric field is calculated using an iterative linear solver and particle motion is solved by finite difference, finite-displacement simulation of particle trajectories. Laplace uses a bitmapped picture or drawing of a microsystem to infer the geometry. The channel depth is everywhere proportional to the magnitude of the blue channel of the image: 0 (black) = zero depth, or no channel, 256 (saturated blue) = deepest channel, and intermediate values correspond to intermediate depths. Laplace automatically applies various boundary conditions (applied voltage or current) to ports, where channels cross the edge of the image.
