This paper demonstrates the modeling of the
biomimetic flow sensor based artificial hair cell using computational fluid
dynamic (CFD) approach. Velocity of fluid, length of hair cell and also the
angle of flow to the hair cell were varied in order to study the hydrodynamic
parameter such as velocity and the drag distribution. Dag force acting on the
hair cells linearly increased as the flow velocity and the length of hair cell
increased. Maximum drag for hair cell length was 8 mm which equaled to 7 mN/ms-1
based on the drag force and the fluid velocity. For different angle of flow,
the drag force is at maximum when the flow was parallel with the substrate and
approaching zero when the flow angle was perpendicular. To improve the hair
cell, the dome-shaped structure was proposed and discussed for multi directional
flow measurement.
