A model is formulated to describe the dynamics of electro-wetting-induced transport of liquid droplets. The velocity of droplet transport as a function of actuation voltage is derived. The operating parameters include the viscosity of the droplet and the medium through which it actuates, contact-line friction, system geometry, and surface tension. Numerical coefficients are extracted from experimental data to represent the effect of operating parameters on electro-wetting dynamics. The power dissipation of droplet transport is analyzed which reveals the key limiting factors for device operation as well the effect of scaling on device power requirements. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
