N2 - This paper presents the modeling of biomimetic flow sensor based on artificial hair cell using the computational fluid dynamic and finite element method. The structure of the biomimetic flow sensor is consisted of single hair cell that perpendicular to substrate with leading edge was 31mm. The hair cell was integrated with general strain gage (Kyowa Type: KFG- 1N-120-C1-11) and was connected to the Wheatstone bridge in order to measure the strain in voltage. The sensor performance was measured on the basis of drag force and strain. In order to study the performance of sensor, the hair cells with a length 1mm until 8mm and material such as copper, tungsten and silicon were simulated. The simulation result shows the high performance can be achieved by increasing the length of hair cell and using the low Young Modulus material. To validate the simulation, the experiment for the flow rate measurement was done for various flow rates 0.05m/s to 0.45m/s.
