ABSTRACT:
An AC electro-hydro-dynamic system for aggregating particles immersed in a fluid. The AC electro-hydro-dynamic system utilizes at least one set of parallel plate electrodes each having at least one conductive surface. The conductive surfaces may incorporate island conductive pads or strip conductive pads. The parallel plates may form a first set and a second set. A signal generator provides a time-varying signal across the first set of parallel plate electrodes and the second set of parallel plate electrodes.
