In this paper we present results of the mathematical modeling of AC electroosmotic micropumps. Unlike others we use the full dynamic description, instead of the linearized model. Skewed hybrid discretization meshes are employed in order to accurately capture the main features of the studied system. Also, we introduce zig-zag electrode arrangements for traveling-wave electroosmotic micropumps. The detailed analysis of the system behavior is presented by means of the examination of the model properties profiles.
