Self-Noise Analysis of Four-Electrode Microflow-Electrochemical Accelerometer Inspired by Hemodynamic Model

Abstract

A fluid dynamics model of electrolyte in mircroflow inspired by hemodynamic model of aortic is proposed and applied in the self-noise analysis of four-electrode microflow-electrochemical accelerometer. Three-dimensional finite element model is established and invested through numerical simulation, the variety of geometrical parameters on different location of electrode and varied time are considered, which can affect the microflow-electrochemical accelerometers self-noise. The result of numerical simulation indicates that, self-noise is related to electrode configuration as well as electrode geometrical parameters. In particular, convection-induced self-noise is correlated to variety of viscosity, and thermohydrodynamic self-noise is correlated to variety of diameter. Such a fluid dynamics model of electrolyte inspired by thermodynamics model can be also used for optimization of the self-noise.
