      abstract = {This book describes automatic methods for the design of  droplet microfluidic networks. The authors discuss  simulation and design methods which support the design  process of droplet microfluidics in general, as well as  design methods for a dedicated droplet routing mechanism,  namely passive droplet routing. The methods discussed allow  for simulating a microfluidic design on a high-abstraction  level, which facilitates early validation of whether a  design works as intended, automatically dimensioning a  microfluidic design, so that constraints like flow  conditions are satisfied, and automatically generating  meander designs for the respective needs and fabrication  settings. Dedicated methods for passive droplet routing are  discussed and allow for designing application-specific  architectures for a given set of experiments, as well as  generating droplet sequences realizing the respective  experiments. Together, these methods provide a  comprehensive "toolbox" for designers working on droplet  microfluidic networks in general and an integrated design  flow for the passive droplet routing mechanism in  particular. Provides both a comprehensive "toolbox" for  designers working on droplet microfluidic networks in  general and an integrated design flow for the passive  droplet routing mechanism in particular; Describes for the  first time CAD methods for droplet microfluidic networks,  along with the first integrated design process; Includes  open source implementations, in order to reach the largest  possible user group within the domain of microfluidics.},
