摘要：

A liquid-metal switch actuated by continuous electrowetting is designed and simulated using varied concentrations of sodium hydroxide electrolyte as the immersive media. The observed strong agreement between simulated and measured switch characteristics suggests that the behavior of similar liquid-metal-based systems may be predicted through simulation, eliminating the need for inefficient trial-and-error physical prototyping.
