A popular mechanism for transport of biological and non-biological fluidic samples in micro-scale geometries is the use of electrical fields. The use of electrical potentials to transport fluids is referred to as electroosmosis. In this paper, we present theories and results for electroosmotic transport in Bio-MEMS applications. In particular, we describe approaches for efficient mixed-domain simulation of electroosmotic transport, and the extraction of reduced-order or low-order models for electroosmotic transport.
