Description A novel microfluidic cell capture device design is investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The device features an array of cylindrically shaped microposts. The physical object is simulated in 2D. The model is based on the laminar form of the Navier-Stokes equation assuming one phase flow with same physical characteristics as water at 293.15 K and constant dynamic viscosity. The velocity field distribution and the formed share stress are calculated by numerical methods. It is concluded that that the cell capture capability of this novel device can be significantly improved by altering the positions of the pillars.
