Particle movement under AC electric field in multilayered microchannel is simulated referring to the experimental conditions in the present study. The particles are experienced dielectrophoretic (DEP) force and thermal buoyancy induced by Joule heating in the fluidic domain, where the simulation is conducted with the laminar flow model and particle tracing model. To verify the simulation results, the velocities and movement paths of particles near the electrode are compared with the experimental results using the particles of MRC-5 cells by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. The simulation results supplies a reference to understand the characteristics of the particle movement experiencing various forces in microchannel.
