U = [U 1 = ϑ 1 − ϑ 0 , ..., U n = ϑ n − ϑ 0 ] (3.5)The preprocessed data consists of the capacitance matrix C r,s,m of size(number of mesh elements in x direction, number of mesh elements in ydirection, number of electrodes − 1). Once E is known, the force can becalculated using Equations (2.11) and (2.12).Figure 3.2: Hybrid electrode meshing. Parallel electrode array.3.4 Dynamic trajectory modelingIn order to simulate the trajectory of a particle subjected to dielectrophoreticforce a dynamic type of simulation is required. Approach from [4] is explainedbelow.Using the Newton’s second law, the motion of the particle is defined by12
