Abstract:
A method for simulating fluid flows in microchannels is proposed. The method is tested using available experimental data obtained in micro-PIV studies of microchannel flows. Flow regimes in Y-, T- and S-types micromixers are studied. Passive and active mixers are considered. The dependence of the mixing efficiency on the Peclet number and the Reynolds number is examined, and the possibility of using hydrophobic and ultrahydrophobic coatings is analyzed.
Keywords:
microchannels, micromixers, hydrodynamics, mixing.
