In this tutorial, a number of approaches to mathematical modelingof electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD), also known as digitalmicrofluidics (DMF) will be reviewed. EWOD refers to methods forcausing droplets to move along solid surfaces or changing the shapes of attached drops (e.g., to actuate a liquid lens) by applying apotential difference bet...

After a brief overview of electrohydrodynamics including Maxwell's electric stress tensor under AC fields where the medium has both conductive and dielectric characteristics, we focus on the problem of electrowetting actuation of sessile drops on a patterned array of electrodes with a thin dielectric coating. For both the case when the drop is e...
